Statute 47-433: Livestock brand emergency revolving fund; use; employment
of personnel; compensation.
The livestock brand emergency revolving fund may be used to provide for
the compensation, subsistence and travel of emergency livestock brand
inspectors and other necessary temporary employees and to provide for
such transactions which demand immediate attention. Emergency livestock
brand inspectors and other needed personnel may be employed by the
livestock commissioner, Kansas animal health department, or by the
assistant commissioner in charge of brands, on a temporary basis for
services in the establishment of the ownership of livestock which may
have been mingled as a result of sudden or extreme storm conditions, or
other unforeseen occurrences. Personnel employed under this act shall be
in the unclassified service and shall be exempt from the provisions of
subsection (b) of
K.S.A. 75-2935, requirements of the civil
service law and processing by the division of personnel services [of] the
department of administration. Such revolving fund shall not be used to
pay any regular employees, or for current accounts, which are payable
monthly. Advanced payments may be made from such revolving fund by the
commissioner or assistant commissioner for subsistence and travel of
employees and for other necessary emergency purposes when deemed
necessary. A settlement, based on an approved accounting for any
advance payments, shall be completed prior to the certification to the
director of accounts and reports for payment of any compensation earned.
The assistant commissioner shall comply with supplemental procedures as
the controller may require, but payments for services, subsistence and
travel from the livestock brand emergency revolving fund shall be made
by voucher method, showing periods of time worked.
