(a) Except as otherwise provided in W.S. 9-4-801 through 9-4-815, for the security of state funds, the state treasurer shall require all state depositories to deposit securities of the kind and character described in W.S. 9-4-801 through 9-4-815, or to furnish a surety bond, that meets the requirements of W.S. 9-4-801 through 9-4-815, for the payment of the deposits and interest thereon. Depositories which provide securities as collateral shall provide a report to the state treasurer semiannually in March and September regarding the current balance of and validity of securities so provided for verification by the state treasurer. Surety bonds, when given, shall run to the state of Wyoming, and together with the securities offered shall be approved by the state treasurer. At each quarterly meeting of the state board of deposits, the state treasurer shall provide a report to the board indicating the extent to which state depositories have provided surety bonds or other security in compliance with W.S. 9-4-801 through 9-4-815.

As used in W.S. 9-4-801 through 9-4-815, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, a bank holiday in the state or other day that is considered a holiday for the employees of the state.
