10-815. Cancellation of certain county warrants; balances. (a) On and after July 1, 1947, and in every case occurring heretofore and hereafter, in which the county boards of commissioners or the county boards of social welfare, as the case may be, shall have issued a warrant against any of the funds of the county treasury and a period of two years shall have elapsed since the signing of such warrant, during which time no person entitled thereto shall have appeared to claim such warrant, or such warrant shall not have been presented to the county treasurer for payment, such warrant may, at the discretion of the board of county commissioners be canceled and set aside upon the records of the county. Such records shall show the date of cancellation, and shall recite that such warrant is unpaid but canceled by reason of this section. (b) That in case a warrant shall have been presented to the county treasurer for payment within the two years above provided, and shall not have been paid for want of sufficient funds, or shall have been issued pursuant to law as a no-fund warrant, and shall have been registered, recorded and endorsed pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 10-807, and amendments thereof, the cancellation provided for in section 1* of this act shall apply to such warrant when a period of two years has elapsed subsequent to the publication of a call for such warrant made pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 10-808, and amendments thereof. (c) That all balances accruing from such unpaid canceled warrants shall revert to the county fund upon which such warrants were drawn. History: L. 1947, ch. 213, § 1; June 30.
