Section 244.215 - Procedure when county auditor or county comptroller refuses demand1. In any county in which a county comptroller has not been appointed, the county auditor shall sign no warrant authorizing the payment of money by the county treasurer, except for the salary of the county auditor, until a copy of the order of the board of county commissioners, allowing the amount and ordering its payment, together with the account, have been submitted to him or her, and his or her allowance endorsed on the order, unless the county auditor refuses to audit and allow the demand, in which case the order must be presented to the board of county commissioners, with a copy of the refusal of the county auditor endorsed, and the county auditor's reasons for the refusal.2. In any county in which a county comptroller has been appointed, if the county comptroller refuses a demand either entirely or in part as not being a proper claim against the county, the county comptroller shall present the demand to the board of county commissioners with an endorsed copy of the refusal and the county comptroller's reason for the refusal.3. Should the board order the issuance of the warrant by a unanimous vote of its members, the county auditor shall immediately issue the warrants upon service upon him or her of a copy of the order of the board, certified to by the clerk of the board, that all the members voted for its passage; otherwise, the account must be declared rejected, and no warrant may be issued for payment of the demand.4. If the county auditor allows the account in part, a warrant shall only issue for that part, unless the board, by a similar unanimous vote, allows a greater sum.5. No warrant may be drawn by the county auditor on the county treasurer on any fund, unless there is sufficient money in the fund at the time to pay the warrant; and any warrant drawn contrary to the provisions of this section is void for all purposes.[10:80:1865; B § 3079; BH § 1951; C § 2113; RL § 1510; NCL § 1944]-(NRS A 1979, 373)[10:80:1865; B § 3079; BH § 1951; C § 2113; RL § 1510; NCL § 1944] - (NRS A 1979, 373)
