11-644. Failure to present county check or
warrant for payment
A. A check that is drawn by the county treasurer in the treasurer's official
capacity or a warrant that is drawn on the county general fund and that is not presented
for payment within one year after the date of issuance is void, is deemed to have been
paid and is not subject to section 44-302. A check or warrant that is not presented for
payment within one year has no further force or effect and any monies shall be
transferred or revert to the county general fund or other appropriate fund.
B. At any time within one year after an unpresented check or warrant has been
voided as provided in subsection A of this section, the person in whose favor the check
or warrant was drawn, or the person's personal representative, successors or assignees,
may present a claim for the amount of the check or warrant to the board of supervisors.
If the board finds that the claim is legitimate and that there is good and sufficient
reason for failure to present the original check or warrant, the board may allow the
claim and order it to be paid from the county general fund or other appropriate fund.
