Sec. 404.070. VALIDITY OF VOIDED WARRANTS. (a) A warrant issued by the comptroller in payment of refunds from a fund in the treasury becomes void unless presented to the comptroller for payment before two years after the end of the fiscal year in which the warrant was issued. The sum of money represented by a warrant voided under this section shall be transferred by the comptroller from the fund from which the warrant was originally issued to the general revenue fund. Claims for the payment of a voided warrant may be presented to the legislature for appropriation from which the warrant may be paid. This section does not affect the laws regulating the payment of other warrants issued by the comptroller.
(b) When a transfer of money under this section is made, the comptroller shall prepare a list of the outstanding warrants representing the transfer. The list must show the date of the original warrant, the departmental suspense account against which the warrant was originally drawn, the original warrant number, and the amount of the original warrant. The list shall be maintained as a permanent record in the office of the comptroller.
