§361e Payment of allotments to State agricultural experiment stations; directors and treasurers or other officers; accounting; reports to Secretary; replacement by States of diminished, lost or misapplied allotments; subsequent allotments or payments contingent on such replacement

Summary

Money available under sections 361a to 361i, excluding the Multistate Research Fund, must be paid to each State agricultural experiment station in equal quarterly payments starting on the first day of October of each fiscal year, on vouchers approved by the Secretary of Agriculture. Each station must have a director and a treasurer (or other officer) appointed by its governing board. The treasurer must receive and account for the funds and, with the director’s approval, report to the Secretary of Agriculture by the first day of December each year a detailed statement of the prior fiscal year’s receipts and disbursements on schedules the Secretary prescribes. If any allotted money is diminished, lost, or misapplied, the State must replace it, and no further allotments will be made to that State until it is replaced.
