In any municipality, the governing body may require the collector to use a tax bill receipting machine so constructed as to imprint duplicate figures on a continuous record locked within the machine, simultaneously as bills are receipted. Such machine shall be subject to approval as to design, type and function by the State Board. Access to the recording section of the machine shall be restricted to the clerk, who, not less than once each week, shall remove the recorded figures and compare them with the collector's bank deposits during the same period.
Whenever such comparison reveals any default, delinquency or official misconduct, the clerk shall immediately report the results thereof to the local governing body and to the collector's surety. Not less than once each month, the clerk shall certify to the local governing body that he has complied with the requirements of this section during the next preceding thirty days.
