The board of county commissioners of any county of this state is hereby authorized to appropriate and the county excise board thereof to approve the appropriation of county funds to reimburse any county officer, county board, county commission, and all members and employees of either thereof who has paid or who will pay his personal funds into the county treasury for the loss of the public funds, whether of money, cash items, or securities, therein which were stolen from the cash drawer or any other receptacle provided by the county commissioners, or taken by force or other unlawful means from the custody of the county officer, county board, county commission, or their deputies, but only where said board of county commissioners have neglected to protect such insurable assets of the county against such hazard by insurance policy in force at the time of loss under authority of Section 627 of this title.
Upon a showing satisfactory to the county commissioners, that the county officer, county board, county commission, or their deputies was without fault in relation to such theft, robbery, holdup or other cause, such board of county commissioners are hereby authorized to allow and pay the county treasurer's verified claim therefor out of the appropriation provided for herein.
