Sec. 1.
It is hereby made the duty of all officers or agents of public or
municipal bodies of this state, who receive any funds, monies, or other
things of value, by virtue of their offices or positions, except
treasurers, to keep an account of all such receipts, by entries on written
or printed forms, to be provided for the purpose by the public bodies or
municipalities by the authority of which their offices or positions are
held. Said forms shall provide for an original and at least two copies of
each entry, to be made by the same operation, and shall show the date and
amount of each receipt, and the account for which the payment or delivery
was made.
Each month's receipts shall be separately paid over or delivered to the
treasurer not later than the middle of the next succeeding month, and
therewith one copy of the record of receipts shall be delivered to the
treasurer; provided that such receipts shall be paid and corresponding
record of receipts shall be delivered oftener if required by the governing
body of the public body concerned. A copy of said record shall be delivered
to the governing body of the public body concerned, or to such officer
thereof as may be directed by such governing body, not later than five days
after the time required for the payment to the treasurer. One copy shall be
retained by the officer or agent making the payment or report, as a
permanent record.
All funds, monies, or other things of value, received by virtue of such
office or position, shall be included in the first payment and report made
under this act, itemized as near as may be in accordance with payments and
reports made under this act. All such funds, monies, and things of value,
shall be held by the treasurer, subject to the rights of all persons or
public bodies therein, and shall be paid out, disbursed or delivered by the
treasurer as provided by law.
