Official statutory text
Recording of payment.
The treasurer of a school district to whom a certificate of
indebtedness or bond is directed for payment shall register the
certificate of indebtedness or bond by entering the number, the
date, the name of the payee, the fund upon which it is drawn and the
amount and shall write on the certificate or bond the date of
registration and the name of the treasurer. Certificates of
indebtedness or bonds shall be registered in the numerical order in
which they are issued and, after registration, shall be given to the
encumbrance clerk. No certificate of indebtedness or bond shall be
a valid charge until registration by the treasurer. A board of
education may contract for and pay a registrar or transfer agent to
transfer ownership or change of payee of any certificate of
indebtedness or bond issued by the school district and to maintain
relevant books and records. The treasurer shall record payment of
certificates of indebtedness or bonds and mark “paid” on the face of
paid certificates of indebtedness or bonds.
