§ 58-3-110. Appropriations for local service offices.

The several county legislative bodies of the counties of this state and the several governing bodies of incorporated municipalities in this state are authorized to appropriate such funds as may be deemed necessary for the operation of such service offices; provided, however, that where such offices be established by appropriate agreement as hereinabove provided, the necessary funds for the operation thereof may be appropriated by the several political subdivisions participating therein in such proportion as may be agreed upon between themselves. The senior accredited officer serving in a county veterans' service office may receive compensation commensurate to the compensation paid to heads of county government departments of comparable size in the county in which the officer is employed. Such compensation may be prorated to reflect the number of hours that the officer actually works during a specific pay period. Staff personnel employed by the respective veterans' service offices may receive compensation commensurate to the compensation paid to county government employees in comparable positions. Acts 1945, ch. 38, § 2; C. Supp. 1950, § 1012.16 (Williams, § 1012.19); impl. am. Acts 1978, ch. 934, §§ 7, 36; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 7-1012; Acts 2004, ch. 664, § 4.
