§94 Reimbursement of sums disbursed as special disbursing agents

Summary

The Secretary of the Treasury must pay, from leftover money set aside for land office contingency expenses, sums that officers named by the Secretary of the Interior spent as special disbursing agents at U.S. land offices before government funds arrived. Payments cannot be larger than the amount Congress approved for that specific purpose and for the fiscal year when the money was spent. The spending must be allowed by law, follow department rules or be authorized by the Interior Secretary (or that person's designee), and the related accounts must be approved by the Interior Secretary or their designee.
