(a) As used in this subchapter:(1) “Checks-paid letter of credit” means a system that requires state warrants to be issued without federal moneys on deposit in the State Treasury. The federal share of the warrants only become available to the Treasurer of State on the day the warrants are presented for redemption. A receipt is processed and credited to the proper fund before the warrants are redeemed;(2) “Delay-of-drawdown letter of credit” means a system that requires the Auditor of State to issue warrants without federal moneys on deposit in the State Treasury for specific programs primarily financed by federal moneys. Moneys are drawn upon the letter of credit and deposited with the Treasurer of State based on an agreement with the United States Government establishing warrant redemption patterns. Deposits are made each day based on estimates of the amount of warrants to be redeemed each day. If warrants are presented for redemption on a given day in excess of the amount deposited into the State Treasury, an additional amount of moneys may be requested on a letter of credit and deposited with the Treasurer of State to enable proper warrant redemption and to prevent deficit spending; and(3) “Federal letter of credit” means an instrument certified by an authorized official of a grantor agency which authorizes a grantee to draw funds needed for immediate disbursement in accordance with Treasury Circular 1075.
