25 U.S.C. § 53 — Disbursing officers; acting clerks

submitted 106 years ago by ch. 75 to r/title-25-INDIANS · 93 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

An Indian Service disbursing agent can let a clerk in their office act on their behalf. This requires the Commissioner of Indian Affairs' approval and applies only while the agent cannot work, due to absence, disability, or another valid reason. The clerk faces the same legal duties and penalties as a disbursing agent while acting in that role.

Any disbursing agent in the Indian Service may, with the Commissioner of Indian Affairs' approval, authorize a clerk in the agent's office to act in the agent's place and carry out all of the agent's legal or regulatory duties. This applies only during a period when the agent cannot perform those duties, because of absence, physical disability, or another disqualifying reason. While filling in, that clerk is subject to the same legal responsibilities and penalties that apply to a disbursing agent's official misconduct.
