§ 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.
