Administrative History
Laws of 1792, Chapter 25 provided for the loaning of state money to clients via county officials designated as the loan officers or loan commissioners. The commissioner had the power to make loans. The payments were made by the treasurer, and were subject to the approval of the Comptroller's Office.
