Section 5-15-9 - Enforcement of claims against deposit.

§ 5-15-9 Enforcement of claims against deposit. – Each deposit made with the general treasurer is subject, as long as it remains in his or her hands, to attachment and execution in behalf of creditors whose claims arise in connection with business done in the state, and to the payment of any fines and penalties incurred by the licensee through violations of this chapter. Claims under civil process shall be enforced against the general treasurer as garnishee or trustee by action in the usual form. All claims upon each deposit shall be satisfied after judgment in the order in which notice of the claim is received by the general treasurer, until all those claims are satisfied, or the deposit exhausted; but no notice filed after the expiration of the sixty (60) days limit referred to in § 5-15-8 is valid. No deposits shall be paid over by the general treasurer to licensees so long as there are any outstanding claims or notices of claims against them respectively, unless he or she finds that there is unreasonable delay in enforcing those claims.
