North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 143. State Departments, Institutions, and Commissions § 143-271. Claims certified to State Treasurer; payment; escheat of balance to University of North Carolina

The Secretary of Administration shall certify to the State Treasurer a schedule of all claims approved or disapproved, and after one year from the time at which the board or agency became inoperative under the law, the State Treasurer shall, out of the funds in his hands for the account of such board or agency, pay all approved claims in full, or if such funds are insufficient for full payment, then he shall equally prorate said claims and make partial payment insofar as funds are available. Should any balance remain in the hands of the Treasurer after the payment of all approved claims, such balance shall escheat and be paid over to the University of North Carolina, to be held in accordance with the statutes governing escheats.
