§2313 — Title 19 Customs Duties | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary must tell the Secretary of the Treasury to pay each cooperating State the money needed so the State can act for the United States and make the payments this law requires. Money given to a State must be used only for those payments. Any unused money must be returned to the Treasury when the agreement says to return it. The agreement may also require State officers who certify or make payments to give a surety bond to protect the United States, in an amount the Secretary decides. The cost of that bond can be paid from the program funds.
