State Treasurer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Treasurers in the United States are executive offices in 49 of the 50 US States with Texas being the only state to not have such an office. In Florida, the position is known as Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, but until 2003 the position was known as Treasurer/Insurance Commissioner/State Fire Marshall. In New York, the position is known as Comptroller. In some states the position is appointed by the Governor as a member of the Governor's Cabinet. In Maryland, the position is jointly elected by both houses of the state legislature [1]. In other states, the position is a statewide electoral office. The State Treasurer serves as the chief custodian of each state's treasury and as the state's head banker. The position has powers and responsibilities similar to those of the United States Secretary of the Treasury and/or the Treasurer of the United States.
