(3) The State Treasurer may rely on the certification described in subsection (2) of this section and need not investigate or inquire whether a check, warrant or request for electronic funds transfer is authorized by law before paying the check, warrant or electronic funds transfer. (4) As used in this section, "state officer" means any person acting on behalf of a board, commission, department, institution, branch or agency the costs of which are paid in whole or in part from funds held in the State Treasury.
