N.Y. State Finance Law Section 62
Replacement of lost certificates

The comptroller, who may act through his duly authorized fiscal agent or trustee appointed pursuant to § 65 (Appointment of fiscal agent or trustee)section sixty-five of this article, may issue to the lawful owner of any certificate or bond issued by him in behalf of this state, which he or such duly authorized fiscal agent or trustee is satisfied, by due proof filed in his office or with such duly authorized fiscal agent or trustee, has been lost or casually destroyed, a new certificate or bond, corresponding in date, number and amount with the certificate or bond so lost or destroyed, and expressing on its face that it is a renewed certificate or bond. No such renewed certificate or bond shall be issued unless sufficient security is given to satisfy the lawful claim of any person to the original certificate or bond, or to any interest therein. The comptroller shall report annually to the legislature the number and amount of all renewed certificates or bonds so issued. If the renewed certificate is issued by the state’s duly authorized fiscal agent or trustee and such agent or trustee agrees to be responsible for any loss suffered as a result of unauthorized payment, the security shall be provided to and approved by the fiscal agent or trustee and no additional approval by the comptroller or the attorney general shall be required.
