7 U.S.C. § 361e: Payment of allotments to…

Summary

Money for State agricultural experiment stations (not the Multistate Research Fund) is paid in equal quarterly installments, starting on October 1 of each fiscal year, after vouchers are approved by the Secretary of Agriculture. Each station must have a director and a treasurer (or similar officer) chosen by its governing board. The treasurer must keep records and, with the director’s approval, send the Secretary of Agriculture a detailed report by December 1 each year showing money received and how it was spent. If any allotted funds are diminished, lost, or used improperly, the State must replace them before receiving any more payments.
