The primary constitutional duty of the state treasurer and the Office of the State Treasurer is to manage the state's financial resources.
As the state's chief fiscal officer, the state treasurer is responsible for keeping the books and managing taxpayers' money from the time it is collected until it is spent on programs the Legislature approves. The office provides banking, investment, debt issuance, and accounting services for state government. It also plays a major role in providing financial services to local governments.
The office also offers cashing of state warrants, according to statute. State employees or any recipient of a state warrant can redeem their warrant at the Legislative Building office.
