§ 16506 State Funds Deposit Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Any money the state has (except small petty cash) must be kept in certain banks chosen by the Director of Finance.
  • •These banks must promise to keep the money safe, just like the state Treasurer does.
  • •If a county gets money for food or farming, the banks holding that money must follow extra safety rules.

Example

A school gets money from the state to buy new computers.

The school can't just keep the money in a shoebox. It has to put the money in a special bank that the state picks, and that bank has to promise to keep the money safe.
