in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Treasury must repay money that special disbursing agents already paid out for land-office hearings and deposits, using leftover contingent-expense funds. Payments can't exceed what Congress appropriated, and the spending must have followed the rules and been approved.

The Secretary of the Treasury must pay back money using any unspent balances left in the appropriations for the day-to-day expenses of land offices. This repayment covers two things: the cost of holding hearings on land entries, and the cost of depositing public money. It repays officers whom the Secretary of the Interior put in charge as special disbursing agents at United States land offices, for amounts those agents paid out before the government sent them the funds. Three conditions apply. First, no payment under this section can be more than what Congress appropriated for that specific purpose in that fiscal year. Second, the disbursements must have followed the law, either by carrying out department regulations or by following authorizations from the Secretary of the Interior or an officer the Secretary named. Third, the accounts listing these payments must already have been approved by the Secretary of the Interior or an officer the Secretary named.
