                            PUBLIC DEPOSITORY LAW
    57-145.  DEPOSIT OF FUNDS BY COUNTY OFFICERS OTHER THAN TREASURER PENDING
DEPOSIT WITH TREASURER -- MANNER OF DEPOSITING -- DUTIES AND LIABILITIES OF
OFFICER AND RECEIVING DEPOSITORIES. All public and other moneys and funds in
the official custody of any county officer other than the county treasurer as
such and as ex officio public administrator and ex officio tax collector,
including checks, drafts and all other instruments for the payment of money
acceptable for deposit in banks, may, pending the deposit thereof with the
county treasurer or other officer or person entitled by law to receive the
same, be deposited on general deposit with interest in any designated
depository in such officer's county, provided that such account is insured by
the federal government and that said funds are readily accessible for
distribution according to law. All interest accrued shall be paid into the
county current expense fund, or if there be no designated depository in said
county, then in any designated depository in the state of Idaho, to the credit
of such officer in his official capacity and subject to payment on demand on
the check of such officer or that of his successor in office in like capacity.
    No designated depository accepting deposits hereunder shall have any duty
or obligation whatever as to the disposition of such funds by the officer
depositing the same, nor be liable in any respect for such officer's
misappropriation, misapplication or wrongful use or disposal thereof, nor for
his failure to deposit the same with the county treasurer or other officer or
person entitled to receive the same at the time and in the manner provided by
law; but nothing herein shall be construed as in any wise relieving such
officer of the duty of paying over such funds to the county treasurer or other
officer or person entitled to receive the same at the time and in the manner
fixed by law, nor of any other duty or liability with respect thereto, except
that such officer shall not be liable either personally or on his official
bond for the nonpayment by any designated depository of funds deposited with
it pursuant to the provisions of this act.
