Department of Transportation is authorized to expend from monies
available in the State Highway Construction and Maintenance Fund so
much thereof as may be necessary for the purchase of recognition
awards for presentation to the members of work units or individual

Savings Bonds, and other appropriate awards, the value of which
shall not exceed Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per employee, which
recognizes the safety achievement of the work unit or individual
