(a)Registered warrants shall be paid out of money in the fund that may be properly applied to those warrants according to the order in which each warrant was presented to the treasurer for registration. Upon receipt of money into the fund, the treasurer shall set apart so much of that money that may be properly applied to the payment of registered warrants as is necessary for the payment of principal and interest.
(b)When there is sufficient money in the fund to pay the warrants drawing interest, the treasurer shall give notice to the registered warrantholder by mail, or by published notice in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county, or if none is published therein, by written notice posted in an appropriate public notice location in the courthouse. When advertising warrants in a newspaper, the treasurer shall not publish the warrants in detail, but shall give notice only that certain warrant numbers or series of numbers stated in the notice are payable. From the date of mailing, or first publication or posting of the notice, the warrants cease to draw interest.
(c)A registered warrant that bears a maturity date shall be paid by the county treasurer upon that date out of moneys then available. However, if on the maturity date endorsed on a registered warrant, there is no money available for its payment, the registered warrant shall continue to bear interest and shall become payable in the same manner as registered warrants not bearing maturity dates.
(d)If a registered warrant is not presented for payment within 60 days from the date of the notice required by subdivision (b), the moneys set aside for its payment shall be applied by the treasurer to the payment of unpaid warrants next in order of registry. When finally presented, any properly endorsed warrant so bypassed shall be paid by the treasurer when sufficient funds that may be properly applied to the payment of registered warrants are next available.
