Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 49, § 318. Warrants to be issued for unexpended balances or receipts

In the event any state department, agency or budget unit shall fail to remit to the state treasury its unexpended balance or receipts as provided by law, the governor shall forthwith draw a warrant on said department, agency or budget unit in favor of the state treasurer for the amount due; a copy of the warrant shall be sent to the state treasurer. If the said department, agency or budget unit shall fail to honor said warrant, the state treasurer, ten days after the date thereof, shall charge said warrant against the undrawn appropriation or any other funds allocated or belonging to said department, agency or budget unit which may be in the custody of the state treasurer.
