Upon request by any state department or agency, the Board of Finance may determine that an account is uncollectible and shall by formal action direct that the uncollectible amount be removed from the records and disclosed on the next annual report provided that the account is at least two years delinquent and that reasonable collection efforts have failed. Evidence of the debt removed from the records by such formal action of the board shall be retained by the department or agency to support possible subsequent collection of such debt.
