Sec. 10. (a) The return by the sheriff to the department of the warrants shall be made monthly on or before the fifth day of the month. All money so returned to the department shall be receipted for by the department and its endorsement upon the check transmitted by the sheriff shall be conclusive evidence of such payment by the sheriff and no other receipt shall be necessary.

     (b) If a warrant is not satisfied within the one hundred twenty (120) days specified in section 8 of this chapter, nothing in this chapter shall operate to prevent the department from issuing subsequent warrants upon the identical amount of the unpaid assessment. Subsequent warrants shall not be recorded by the clerk, and no fees shall be chargeable by the clerk. Upon any subsequent warrant, the sheriff shall be entitled to a sum for mileage equal to that sum per mile paid to state officers and employees, with the rate changing each time the state government changes its rate per mile, but shall not be entitled to any other fee if the same has been paid the sheriff for services upon the original warrant, except that in case collection is made in part or in full with respect to any such subsequent warrant, the sheriff is entitled to the five percent (5%) or ten percent (10%) as provided in section 9(b) of this chapter.

     (c) In every instance in which the sheriff shall return any warrant unsatisfied, the sheriff shall attach to the warrant a summary of all relative information regarding the attempts to collect the warrant and the reason the warrant is being returned unsatisfied.
