North Dakota Century Code Title 18. Fires § 18-05-13. Audit of books of relief association--Report of unauthorized spending to governor--Duty of governor

The books and accounts of the secretary and treasurer of each firefighters relief association receiving funds under the provisions of this chapter must be audited as required by section 54-10-14. If the money, or any part of it, has been or is being expended for unauthorized purposes, the facts must be reported to the governor. Thereupon, the governor shall direct the office of management and budget not to prepare any warrants for the benefits of the fire department or relief association of the municipality, rural fire department, or rural fire protection district in which the association is organized until it appears to the state auditor, who shall report the fact to the governor, that all moneys wrongfully expended have been replaced. The governor may take such further action as the emergency may demand.
