§ 17243 Warrant Maturity And Interest

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can decide when to pay back money for special checks called 'reimbursement warrants'.
  • •They can also decide if these checks earn interest over time or only when they are cashed in.
  • •If the check doesn’t have a set interest rate, it only earns interest when it’s cashed in.

Example

Imagine the state owes a school money for building repairs. Instead of paying right away, they give the school a special check.

The state can write on the check when they will pay the school back. They can also decide if the check earns extra money (interest) while the school waits or only when the school finally cashes it in.

The Controller may fix a maturity date for reimbursement warrants, and indorse upon each warrant, the date upon which the principal amount of the warrant will be paid and redeemed. The Controller, with the concurrence of the Department of Finance and the Office of the State Treasurer, may fix periodic payment dates for interest on reimbursement warrants or provide that interest on reimbursement warrants be paid only upon redemption, provided that interest on registered reimbursement warrants for which the committee has not fixed a maximum rate of interest pursuant to Section 17244 shall be paid only upon redemption of the registered reimbursement warrant. (Amended by Stats. 2009, Ch. 23, Sec. 6. Effective July 28, 2009.)
