Minnesota Statutes Animals and Property (Ch. 343-348) § 348.05. Commissioner of management and budget to issue payment

The commissioner of management and budget shall audit all such claims, and, on the first Monday of October, in each year, shall issue a payment to the several claimants for the amount to which each is entitled; but, if the aggregate of compensation due to all such claimants shall exceed the appropriation therefor, the commissioner shall distribute the available amount amongst them pro rata, which distribution shall relieve the state from further obligation to such claimants for the year.
