§ 15.2-713 Means of transferring funds
The treasurer or his duly authorized deputies may transfer public funds from one depository to another by wire. Such officers may also draw any of the county’s money by check, by an electronic fund wire or payment system, or by any means deemed appropriate and sound by the county treasurer and approved by the governing body, drawn upon a warrant issued by the governing body. If any money is knowingly paid otherwise than upon the county treasurer’s check, electronic fund wire or payment system or by alternative means specifically approved by the county treasurer and the governing body, drawn upon such warrant, the payment shall be invalid against the county.
History
This law was first created in 1978. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 460 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1978 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 2 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter. Those modifications that can be read on the General Assembly’s website will be linked accordingly. Those modifications are as follows: in 1986, chapter 293; in 1997, chapter 587.
1978, c. 460, § 15.1-684.1; 1986, c. 293; 1997, c. 587.
