20.905 Payments to state. (1) MANNER OF PAYMENT. Payments to the state may be made in legal tender, postal money order, express money order, bank draft, or certified check. Payments to the state may also be made by personal check or individual check drawn in the ordinary course of business unless otherwise required by individual state agencies. Payments to the state made by a debit or credit card approved by the secretary of administration or his or her designee may be accepted by state agencies. Prior to authorizing the use of a card, the secretary of administration or his or her designee shall determine how any charges associated with the use of the card shall be paid, unless the method of payment of such charges is specified by law. Unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law, payments to the state may be made by electronic funds transfer. (2) PROTESTED PAYMENT. If a personal check tendered to make any payment to the state is not paid by the bank on which it is drawn, if an electronic funds transfer does not take place because of insufficient funds, or if a demand for payment under a debit or credit card transaction is not paid by the bank upon which demand is made, the person by whom the check has been tendered, the person whose funds were to be electronically transferred, or the person entering into the debit or credit card transaction shall remain liable for the payment of the amount for which the check was tendered, the amount that was to be electronically transferred, or the amount agreed to be paid by debit or credit card and for all legal penalties, additions and a charge set by the secretary of administration or his or her designee which is comparable to charges for unpaid drafts made by establishments in the private sector. In addition, the officer to whom the check was tendered, to whom the electronic funds transfer was promised, or to whom the debit or credit card was presented may, if there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, provide any information or evidence relating to the crime to the district attorney of the county having jurisdiction over the offense for prosecution as provided by law. If any license has been granted upon any such check, any such electronic funds transfer, or any such debit or credit card transaction, the license shall be subject to cancellation for the nonpayment of the check, the failure to make the electronic funds transfer, or failure of the bank to honor the demand for payment authorized by debit or credit card. (3) OVERPAYMENTS AND UNDERPAYMENTS. Unless otherwise provided by law, state institutions and agencies, as defined in s. 227.01 (1) but also including the office of district attorney, may retain overpayments of fees, licenses, and similar charges when the overpayment is $2 or less, unless such refund is specifically requested in writing. Underpayments of not more than $2 may be waived when the administrative cost of collection would exceed the amount of underpayment. History: 1971 c. 125; 1975 c. 242; 1977 c. 29; 1981 c. 20; 1985 a. 29; 1987 a. 142; 1989 a. 31; 2005 a. 25; 2017 a. 59.

may prescribe showing the amount of such collection and from whom and for what purpose or on what account the same was received. All moneys paid into the treasury shall be credited to the general purpose revenues of the general fund unless otherwise specifically provided by law. (2) FORM OF RECEIPTS. The department of administration shall prescribe a form of official blank receipts to be issued by or for each state agency collecting or receiving any money for the state, or collecting any money required by law to be turned into the state treasury, and such state agency shall issue such official receipts to each person from whom money is received. All such official receipts shall be prenumbered consecutively. The secretary of administration may waive the issuance of official receipts in cases where the secretary prescribes other adequate collection control measures, but receipts shall be issued on demand. (3) IMPROPER USE OF RECEIPTS FORM. Any person who issues or delivers such official receipt or passes or utters the same, except as required by law, is guilty of a misdemeanor. (4) PENALTIES. If any state agency fails to make such deposits of money, or to make such reports as are required by this section, the department of administration, with the approval of the governor, shall withhold all moneys due such state agency until this section is complied with; and upon such failure to make such deposits of money, the officer or employee so failing shall be liable to the secretary of administration for an amount equal to the interest upon the moneys so withheld from deposit at the same rate as that received by the state upon moneys held in the state investment fund, for the period for which such deposit is withheld; and such interest shall be a charge against the officer or employee and shall be deducted from that person’s compensation. (5) CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO RELEASE OF APPROPRIATIONS. All appropriations from state revenues for any state agency are made on the express conditions that such state agency pays all moneys received by it into the state treasury within one week of receipt or as often as otherwise directed by the governor or secretary of administration, and conforms with ss. 16.53 (1) and 20.002, regardless of the type of appropriations made to the state agency. Upon failure to comply with this subsection, the department of administration shall refuse to pay any moneys appropriated to the state agency from state revenues until the state agency complies with this subsection.
