Petty cash ACTIVE

Any budget unit may be granted authority to establish a petty cash fund when provided for within the budget unit's appropriation and allotment, for the purpose of making disbursement requiring prompt cash outlay, but not in any case to exceed twenty-five hundred dollars. The custodian of the petty cash fund, as often as may be necessary to replenish the petty cash and at least once a month, shall prepare a schedule of the disbursements therefrom accompanied by appropriate vouchers and statements of indebtedness therefor, and by certificate as to the condition of the petty cash fund. Payment in reimbursement of the petty cash shall be in the form and manner prescribed for other payments under this Chapter in the amount of the total of the approved vouchers. The payment shall be made to the custodian of the petty cash fund and shall be devoted to reimbursement thereof. Any question relative to the amount to be allowed in petty cash, the expenditures thereof, the accounting therefor, and payment thereof, shall be determined by the commissioner of administration. Petty cash advanced from any fund shall be carried on the general books of the state as an asset of the fund.
