2006 New York Code - Payment Of Annuity.

 
    §  100.  Payment  of annuity.   The department of social welfare shall
  annually pay to the clerk  of  the  Saint  Regis  tribe  out  of  moneys
  appropriated  therefor  by the legislature, any amount due to such tribe
  pursuant to the terms of existing agreements between the state and  such
  Indians.  Before  receiving  any  such money, such clerk shall execute a
  bond to the Saint Regis tribe in double the amount of the money  payable
  to  him.  Such bond shall be approved as to form, amount and sufficiency
  of sureties by the county judge  of  Franklin  county.  The  council  of
  chiefs  of the Saint Regis tribe may, in case of default, delinquency or
  misconduct of such clerk, maintain an  action  upon  such  bond.  Before
  receiving  any  such  money,  the  clerk  shall  also  prepare under the
  direction of the chiefs an annual roll of the members of the Saint Regis
  tribe who are eligible to receive annuity money, including  therein  the
  name  and  post-office  address  of each such member, and file copies of
  such roll in the offices of the department of  social  welfare  and  the
  county clerk of Franklin county.  The department of social welfare shall
  not in any manner be charged with or be responsible for the distribution
  or  expenditure  of  such  annuity  money by such tribe or any officials
  thereof.
