Section 25303.4.
(a) If, pursuant to another provision of law, a bank account has been authorized for the use of the officer, he shall deposit in that account as soon as practicable any negotiable paper accepted by him pursuant to this chapter.
(b) If a bank account has not been authorized for the use of such officer, he may deposit negotiable paper accepted pursuant to this chapter as soon as practicable with a bank for collection and receive from the bank cashier’s checks in an amount equal to the total deposit. The cashier’s checks shall be deposited in the county treasury like cash received for the same purpose. The officer accepting negotiable paper may at his option deposit such negotiable paper daily in the county treasury instead of in a bank; and the county treasurer shall handle such negotiable paper like any other negotiable paper accepted by him.
If any negotiable paper is returned unpaid to the bank with which it was deposited, the bank shall return it to the officer who deposited it and, if its amount has been included in any cashier’s check given by the bank, the bank is entitled to a refund in the amount of the unpaid negotiable paper. Any negotiable paper redeemed by or charged back to the county treasurer by reason of nonpayment shall be returned to the officer who deposited it with him. A memorandum charging the officer making the deposit and crediting the treasurer shall be issued by the county auditor on the fund into which the original deposit was made.
