History notes:

The State Treasurer, a biennially elected Constitutional officer, succeeded the Territorial Treasurer (WIHV88-A1) upon formation of the state government in 1848.

The State Treasurer has custody of all State funds. He prepares and publishes periodic reports on the condition of these funds. The Treasurer also has custody of securities and land contracts representing investment of the State funds, and of securities deposited by banks and insurance companies as legally required reserve. The Treasurer holds all estates and bank deposits which escheat to the State. The state Treasurer receives State taxes, fines, and fees from counties and distributes State aid to them.

Regulation of banks was carried out by the independent State Bank Comptroller from 1852 to 1870, when the functions and records of that office passed to the State Treasurer. In 1895, a State Bank Examiner was appointed, responsible to the State Treasurer; the independent Banking Department was created in 1903 (WIHV86-A605).

The Treasurer is one of the three members of Commissioners of Public Lands (WIHV87-A604). Many of the Commissioners' early records are found among the Treasurer's records.
