When a final judgment for a sum of money shall be recovered against a municipal corporation, and the execution thereof shall not be stayed pursuant to law, or the time for such stay shall have expired, the treasurer or other financial officer of such corporation having sufficient moneys in his or her hands belonging to the corporation not otherwise specifically appropriated, shall pay such judgment upon the production of a certified copy of the docket thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary, in any case where payment for any reason is to be made to an incarcerated individual serving a sentence of imprisonment with the state department of corrections and community supervision or to a prisoner confined at a local correctional facility, the treasurer or other financial officer shall give written notice, if required pursuant to subdivision two of section six hundred thirty-two-a of the executive law, to the office of victim services that such payment shall be made thirty days after the date of such notice.
