The governor may offer a reward, not exceeding ten thousand dollars, for information leading to the apprehension of a convict who has escaped from the state prison or for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person or persons who have committed or are charged with commission of a felony.
B. The governor shall certify to the department of administration the name of the person giving the information leading to the arrest, immediately upon conviction of the person arrested.
