Okla. Stat. tit. 19, § 19-646: Reimbursement of county officers replacing stolen funds

The board of county commissioners of any county of this state is

hereby authorized to appropriate and the county excise board thereof

to approve the appropriation of county funds to reimburse any county

officer, county board, county commission, and all members and

employees of either thereof who has paid or who will pay his

personal funds into the county treasury for the loss of the public

funds, whether of money, cash items, or securities, therein which

were stolen from the cash drawer or any other receptacle provided by

the county commissioners, or taken by force or other unlawful means

from the custody of the county officer, county board, county

commission, or their deputies, but only where said board of county

commissioners have neglected to protect such insurable assets of the

county against such hazard by insurance policy in force at the time

of loss under authority of Section 627 of this title.

Upon a showing satisfactory to the county commissioners, that

the county officer, county board, county commission, or their

deputies was without fault in relation to such theft, robbery,

holdup or other cause, such board of county commissioners are hereby

authorized to allow and pay the county treasurer's verified claim

therefor out of the appropriation provided for herein.
