§ 126-26. Monthly appropriations; effect of institution's refusal to receive charitable cases.

The amounts appropriated to charitable institutions shall be paid to these institutions in monthly installments. On failure of an institution to receive persons sent to it, as provided in section 126-28, the officer who shall have designated the institution shall report it to the chief financial officer, and it shall be unlawful for the chief financial officer to draw any further check or warrant for that institution or to approve any vouchers in its behalf. In that case, the appropriation set apart to that institution shall be stricken, and the amount appropriated for it shall be transferred to the department of contingent and grants.
