§ 353.263. Emergency Account

1. As used in this section, “ emergency ” means invasion, disaster, insurrection, riot, breach of the peace, substantial threat

to life or property, epidemic or the imminent danger thereof. The term includes damage to or the disintegration of a building owned by this state

or of the mechanical or electrical system of such a building when immediate repairs

are necessary to maintain the integrity of the structure or its mechanical or electrical

system. 2. The Emergency Account is hereby created in the State General Fund. Money for the Account must be provided by direct legislative appropriation. 3. When the State Board of Examiners finds that an emergency exists which requires

an expenditure for which no appropriation has been made, or in excess of an appropriation

made, the Board may authorize an expenditure from the Emergency Account to meet the

emergency. 4. The State Board of Examiners may, under such circumstances as it deems appropriate,

authorize its Clerk to determine whether an emergency exists and approve, on behalf

of the Board, an expenditure from the Emergency Account. 5. The Chief shall enumerate expenditures from the Account made in the preceding biennium

in each executive budget report. 6. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section to the contrary, money in the Emergency

Account may be expended for any purpose authorized by the Legislature.
