Said bank so selected shall qualify to receive said fund and secure the same as required of state depositories under Section 27-105-5 before receiving any funds, except as herein noted in the case of private hospitals. The life of said contract with a depository shall be for five (5) years. Each bank shall enter into a written contract, the terms of which shall be to perform faithfully all acts and duties required of it by this and other laws of the state. As such depository, it shall receive and keep account of all funds and pay out same on the check of the secretary or business manager, countersigned by the president or chairman of the board or institution. Such bank shall receive, keep, disburse and account for all funds of the Department of Human Services and such state institution of higher learning for which it shall be a depository, and turn over all funds and accounts to its legal successor, provided all private hospitals shall be exempted from providing depositories.

All books, accounts and reports made thereon for any funds shall conform to the requirements of the General Accounting Office, and shall be filed with the said General Accounting Office.
