§ 16626 Treasurer Security Deposit Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The Treasurer can let certain trusted banks or companies hold important papers (like money certificates) to keep them safe.
  • •These trusted places include big banks, special federal banks, or the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.
  • •The Treasurer must give permission first before these papers are moved or stored.
  • •This is only for papers that are used as security (like a promise to pay back money).

Example

Imagine you lend money to a friend, and they give you their video game console to hold onto until they pay you back.

The law is like letting a trusted neighbor (a big bank) hold onto the video game console for you instead of keeping it at your house. The neighbor has to be approved by you (the Treasurer) first, and they can only hold onto things that are used as a promise to pay back money.
