entitled to partial reimbursement by the state for payments by the
county of indemnification on account of damages resulting from rabies as

The commissioner shall thereupon promptly certify to the comptroller for
payment the amount of state reimbursement due the county thereon. The
amounts so certified by the commissioner of agriculture and markets,
after audit by and on the warrant of the comptroller, shall be paid to
the county treasurers of the respective counties to which such
