1-26 (c) A warrant or check issued by the county treasurer in
1-27 settlement of a claim against a county that is not presented for
1-28 payment before the 366th day following the date of issuance is
1-29 overdue and nonnegotiable. The sum of the overdue warrant or check

1-32 the issuance of the warrant or check. No right to full settlement
1-33 of a proper unpaid claim is extinguished by this subsection.
1-34 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-35 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-36 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-37 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-38 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-39 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-40 passage, and it is so enacted.
