RSA 512:9: Salary or Wages of State Officials or Employees.

The salary or wages of any state official or employee for services rendered or labor performed for the state before the service of a writ shall be subject to trustee process. The trustee writ shall be served upon the state treasurer, who shall be chargeable as any other trustee; provided, however, that if the writ is duly entered in court, the treasurer shall discharge himself by paying to the clerk of that court such portion of said salary or wages as is due or payable at the time of service of said writ on the treasurer; and provided further that the state treasurer shall not be chargeable unless the writ shall be served upon him before the check for such salary or wages has left his custody.
