The state treasurer shall pay warrants drawn by the state auditor in conformity with the provisions of this code, when there is money in the treasury appropriated for that purpose. After a warrant is paid he shall cause it to be indelibly canceled by perforating or stamping it with the word "paid." He shall keep a record of the number of the warrant, its date, amount, the name of the payee, the date of payment, the name of the person to whom paid, and the amount of interest, if any, paid thereon. If a warrant is presented to the state treasurer for payment and there are no funds in the treasury appropriated for that purpose, he shall cause the same to be registered as provided by this code.
