N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law § 325: Administration expenses

§ 325. Administration expenses. The entire expense of administering

this article shall be paid out of the special fund and charged thereto.

At least thirty days prior to the first days of April and October in

each year, the chairman shall submit to the director of the budget for

his approval an estimated budget of expenditures for the succeeding six

months. In the event of attack within the state for which civil defense

volunteers are mobilized or outside the state if, in accordance with a

mutual aid agreement approved by the New York state civil defense

commission, civil defense volunteers of any local office respond to a

request for assistance, the chairman shall prepare and submit to the

director of the budget for his approval an estimated budget of

expenditures for funds to be allocated to the board during the period of

emergency. There may not be expended for purposes of such administration

more than the amounts specified in such budget for each item of

expenditure, except as authorized by the director of the budget. The

funds so allocated by the director of the budget shall be available to

the workmen's compensation board for services and expenses, including

travel outside the state, to carry out the provisions of this article

and shall be paid from the treasury on audit and warrant of the

comptroller on vouchers approved by the chairman, vice chairman or

secretary of the board. If there be officers or employees of the board

whose duties relate partly to the general work of the board and partly

to such administration, and in case there is other expense which is

incurred jointly on behalf of the general work of the board and to such

administration, an equitable apportionment of the expense shall be made

and the part thereof which is applicable to administration as provided

in this article shall be chargeable thereto.
