TITLE VIII PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES, BONDS AND RECORDS (103-110)
Chapter 105 Public Officers and Employees--Miscellaneous Provisions
Section 105.385 Delinquent contributions, how collected--withheld from distributions of state funds--payment required by county officer out of available funds.

105.385. 1. Delinquent payments due under section 105.370, together with accrued interest and penalties, may, at the request of the state agency, be deducted from any moneys payable to the subdivision or instrumentality by any department or agency of the state, or may be recovered in a court of competent jurisdiction against the political subdivision or instrumentality.

2. Whenever the state agency shall certify to any agency of the state authorized to apportion or allocate funds to political subdivisions or instrumentalities that any political subdivision or instrumentality is* delinquent in its payments as provided by sections 105.300 to 105.440, the amount so certified shall be withheld from distribution. Upon notification by the state administrator of the withholding by the distributing agency, the state treasurer, or appropriate official, if other than the state treasurer, shall transfer the amount so certified or such part thereof as is available from apportionments or allocations due the political subdivision or instrumentality to the state agency. In the event the state agency recovers any delinquent amounts from the political subdivision or instrumentality, the funds so recovered shall be credited to the fund or funds from which the transfer was made, and the distributing agency shall then apportion or allocate to the political subdivision or instrumentality the amount it was originally entitled to receive by law.

3. Whenever any political subdivision or instrumentality which is part of or located within a county shall become delinquent of any payments due under section 105.370 and/or 105.380, the state agency may certify to the treasurer or to any appropriate officer of the county and/or political subdivision or instrumentality the amount of the delinquent payment plus accrued interest and penalties. The official receiving such certification shall without regard to formal administrative procedure and usage of a particular fund, cause payments to be made out of available funds to the state agency sufficient to cover the amount certified by the state agency. If any treasurer or appropriate official to which the delinquent payment certification is so directed shall fail or neglect to perform the duties imposed upon him by this section he shall be liable upon his bond for the failure or neglect.
