Section 17091.

Application for a duplicate warrant shall be made by filing with the Controller:

(a) An affidavit setting forth the fact of its loss or destruction, giving the number, date, amount, and name of the payee, together with all material facts relative to the loss or destruction.

(b) An agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the state, its officers and employees, from any loss resulting from the issuance of the duplicate warrant.

No indemnity agreement shall be required: (1) when the payee is the United States Government, a state of the United States, any agency, instrumentality or officer of the United States Government or of a state, or any county, city, city and county, town, district, or other political subdivision of a state, or any officer thereof; or (2) when the owner or custodian is the State of California or any agency or officer thereof.

The Controller need not require an indemnity agreement if the Controller determines that it is in the best interest of the state and that the state is adequately protected without an agreement.
