§ 7173 Warrant Issuance Requirements

This law says that official warrants must be prepared by the treasurer and signed either by the president or by a board member specifically named for that task, and also signed by the secretary.

Key Takeaways

•Only the treasurer can draft a warrant.
•Signing requires either the president or an appointed board member, plus the secretary.
•The process ensures official board approval before any payment is made.

Example

A community garden board needs to pay a vendor for new tools. The treasurer creates a warrant for the payment, the president signs it (or a board member the board appointed for signing), and the secretary also signs it to make it official.

The board can only authorize the payment if the warrant follows this signing rule: the treasurer writes it, the president (or a designated board member) signs it, and the secretary signs it too.
