Except as otherwise provided, moneys may be paid from the state treasury only upon the warrant or order prepared by the office of management and budget drawn on the state treasurer. The director of the office of management and budget shall recommend a form for order and warrant-check of the state government which must conform, so far as consistent with statutory requirements, to approved banking practice to facilitate handling of such instruments by banks and other depositories. When an order and warrant-check is signed by the state auditor, the state treasurer shall accept the order or warrant with the treasurer's signature, making the order and warrant-check negotiable. No warrant upon the treasurer may be delivered or mailed to the payee or the payee's agent or representative until the warrant has been signed by the treasurer and entered on the treasurer's books as a check drawn on a bank depository. A record must be maintained specifying upon what fund or from what apportionment each warrant is to be paid. The state treasurer may redeem outstanding bonds or pay interest on bonds when due without the warrant of the office of management and budget, retaining the bond or interest coupon as a voucher for the payment until the next settlement. With respect to electronic records and electronic signatures, the state treasurer shall utilize the services provided by the information technology department.
