Issuance, Registration and PaymentDemand Warrants
Section § 53020
This section describes the standard form for a 'demand warrant,' which is a kind of financial document issued by a Reclamation District board of trustees. It includes details such as the amount to be paid, the recipient, and the source of the funds. The warrant is issued by the treasurer of the county where the district is located and must be signed by the district trustees. Upon registration, the warrant can accrue interest at a specified rate. If not paid within four years from the date of issuance, it becomes invalid unless stated otherwise. The warrant states that it can be presented for payment, but may sometimes go unpaid if the funds are not available.

Section § 53021
This law states that when a demand warrant is presented to the county treasurer and is not paid, it must be registered, and a note of nonpayment should be made on it.
Section § 53022
If a demand warrant (essentially a request for payment) isn't paid when it's shown to the relevant authority, it will start accumulating interest. The interest rate is determined by the board as outlined in another regulation, specifically Section 53300.
Section § 53023
This law section states that if demand warrants (or payment requests) aren't paid right away, the county treasurer is responsible for paying them. They should be paid in the order they were registered, unless all the holders of these warrants agree in writing to a different order, and the county treasurer approves it.
