44-716. Employment security administration fund. (a) Special fund. There is hereby created in the state treasury a special fund to be known as the employment security administration fund. All moneys in this fund which are received from the federal government or any agency thereof, except money received pursuant to subsection (d) of K.S.A. 44-712, and amendments thereto, shall be expended solely for the purposes and in the amounts found necessary by the United States secretary of labor for the proper and efficient administration of this act. The fund shall consist of all moneys appropriated by this state and all moneys received from the United States of America, or any agency thereof, including the federal security agency, the railroad retirement board, and any proceeds realized from the sale or disposition of any equipment or supplies which may no longer be necessary for the proper administration of this act, or from any other source, for such purposes, except that moneys received from the railroad retirement board or from any other state as compensation for services or facilities supplied to the board shall be paid into this fund on the same basis as expenditures are made for such service or facilities from such fund. All moneys in this fund shall be deposited, administered, and disbursed, in the same manner and under the same conditions and requirements as is provided by law for other special funds in the state treasury. All balances accrued from unpaid or canceled warrants issued pursuant to this section, notwithstanding the provisions of K.S.A. 10-812, and amendments thereto, shall remain in the employment security administration fund, and be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this act relating to such account. Notwithstanding any provision of this section, all money requisitioned and deposited in this fund pursuant to subsection (d) of K.S.A. 44-712, and amendments thereto, shall remain part of the employment security administration fund and shall be used only in accordance with the conditions specified in subsection (d) of K.S.A. 44-712, and amendments thereto.
(b) Appropriations. There shall be appropriated to the employment security administration fund, from any moneys in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum necessary to match the amount as may be provided and granted to this state under the provisions of the act of congress entitled "an act to provide for the establishment of a national employment system and for cooperation with states in the promotion of such system, and for other purposes," approved June 6, 1933 (48 Stat. 113; U.S.C., title 29, sec. 49 (cl) as amended). Pursuant to an estimate by the secretary of labor of the amount of money required during the ensuing calendar quarter from the sums appropriated, such amount shall be credited to the administration fund at the beginning of each quarter, and additional amounts may be credited by special request of the secretary of labor. The director of accounts and reports is hereby authorized and directed to draw warrants upon the treasurer of the state for the amounts appropriated upon vouchers approved by the secretary of labor.
(c) Reimbursement of fund. This state recognizes its obligation to replace, and hereby pledges the faith of this state that funds will be provided in the future, and applied to the replacement of, any moneys received after July 1, 1941, from the federal security agency under title III of the social security act, pursuant to the provisions of section 303 (a) 8 and 9 of the social security act, as amended, which the federal security administrator finds have, because of any action or contingency, been lost or have been expended for purposes other than, or in amounts in excess of, those found necessary by the federal security administrator to the proper administration of this act. Such moneys shall be promptly replaced by moneys appropriated for such purpose from the general funds of this state to the employment security administration fund for expenditures as provided in subsection (a) of this section. The secretary of labor shall promptly report to the governor, to the legislature, the amount required for such replacement. In the event that section 303 (a) 8 and 9 of the social security act is repealed or held inoperative for any reason whatsoever then this paragraph shall be null and void.
