Title 50, Chapter 23, Section 20
( 50-23-20)
(a) In the event of a failure of any local government to collect and
remit in full all amounts due to the authority and all amounts due
to others, which involve the credit or guarantee of the authority or
of the state, on the date such amounts are due under the terms of
any bond, revenue bond, note, or other obligation of the local
government, it shall be the duty of the authority to notify the
director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services who shall
withhold all funds of the state and all funds administered by the
state, its agencies, boards, and instrumentalities allotted to such
local government until such local government has collected and
remitted in full all sums due and cured or remedied all defaults on
any such bond, revenue bond, note, or other obligation. (b) Nothing contained in this Code section shall mandate the
withholding of funds allocated to a local government which would
violate contracts to which the state is a party, the requirements of
federal law imposed on the state, or judgments of any court binding
the state. |
