The board of supervisors of any county may authorize any officer of a county who is not specifically authorized by any other code section to accept negotiable paper in payment of any assessment, license, permit, or fee, or other money owing to any county or in payment of any trust deposit. After authorization by the board of supervisors, any officer of the county governed by provisions of this section may, at his discretion, accept negotiable paper in payment of any assessment, license, permit, or fee, or other money owing to the county or in payment of any trust deposit.
