Agency: State Treasurer Function The State Treasurer is responsible for all state funds. The Office controls the receipt and deposit of state money, manages the banking relationships for all bank accounts, invests all funds at competitive market rates and provides liquidity for all state disbursements, subject to the Money Management Act.

The Treasurer coordinates the sale of all debt authorized by the Legislature, operates the Public Treasurers' Investment Fund (PTIF) for the benefit of all public entities in Utah, and reconciles bank accounts. The office also administers the Unclaimed Property program on behalf of the state.

The State Treasurer "shall be 25 years of age or older at the time of election." No person is eligible for the Office of the State Treasurer "unless at the time of election that person is a qualified voter and has been a resident citizen of the state for five years next preceding the election" (Section 3). "The State Treasurer shall be the custodian of public moneys' (Section 15).
