Moneys received by the fiscal agents from the sale of bonds on behalf of the State shall not, for a period of fifteen days after the sale of bonds, be considered as deposits within the meaning of chapter 38, and moneys placed with the fiscal agents for the purpose of purchase or redemption of bonds and coupons shall not be considered as deposits within the meaning of chapter 38.  The director may also appoint, with the approval of the governor, such mainland depositories as may be necessary or expedient for the safekeeping of securities owned by the State, and may authorize and empower these depositories, for and on behalf of the State, to pay for, receive delivery of, and receipt for, securities purchased by the State, to receive interest payments, to deliver and receive payment for securities sold or redeemed by the State and to perform all other acts in connection with these securities which are customarily performed by depositories. Moneys received by the depositories on behalf of the State from the sale or redemption of securities, or as interest, shall not for a period of fifteen days after the receipt thereof by the depository be considered as deposits within the meaning of chapter 38, and moneys placed with the depositories for the purpose of purchase of securities shall not be considered as deposits within the meaning of chapter 38. This paragraph may be applied with respect to any securities deposited in the director's custody or control by any agency, government or private, with the approval of and at the expense of the agency, which expenditures, in the case of a government agency, may be made from any funds available for its current expenses.
