1 1 Section 1. Section 29C.20, subsection 1, Code 2003, is
1 2 amended to read as follows:
1 3 1. A contingent fund is created in the state treasury for
1 4 the use of the executive council which may be expended for the
1 5 purpose of paying the expenses of suppressing an insurrection
1 6 or riot, actual or threatened, when state aid has been
1 7 rendered by order of the governor, and for repairing,
1 8 rebuilding, or restoring state property injured, destroyed, or
1 9 lost by fire, storm, theft, or unavoidable cause, and for
1 10 repairing, rebuilding, or restoring state property which is
1 11 fiberoptic cable and which is injured or destroyed by a wild
1 12 animal, and for purchasing a police service dog for the
1 13 department of corrections when such a dog is injured or
1 14 destroyed, and for aid to any governmental subdivision in an
1 15 area declared by the governor to be a disaster area due to
1 16 natural disasters or to expenditures necessitated by the
1 17 governmental subdivision toward averting or lessening the
1 18 impact of the potential disaster, where the effect of the
1 19 disaster or action on the governmental subdivision is the
1 20 immediate financial inability to meet the continuing
1 21 requirements of local government. Upon application by a
1 22 governmental subdivision in such an area, accompanied by a
1 23 showing of obligations and expenditures necessitated by an
1 24 actual or potential disaster in a form and with further
1 25 information the executive council requires, the aid may be
1 26 made in the discretion of the executive council and, if made,
1 27 shall be in the nature of a loan up to a limit of seventy-five
1 28 percent of the showing of obligations and expenditures. The
1 29 loan, without interest, shall be repaid by the maximum annual
1 30 emergency levy authorized by section 24.6, or by the
1 31 appropriate levy authorized for a governmental subdivision not
1 32 covered by section 24.6. The aggregate total of loans shall
1 33 not exceed one million dollars during a fiscal year. A loan
1 34 shall not be for an obligation or expenditure occurring more
1 35 than two years previous to the application.
2 1 When a state department or agency requests that moneys from
2 2 the contingent fund be expended to repair, rebuild, or restore
2 3 state property injured, destroyed, or lost by fire, storm,
2 4 theft, or unavoidable cause, or to repair, rebuild, or restore
2 5 state property which is fiberoptic cable and which is injured
2 6 or destroyed by a wild animal, or to purchase a police service
2 7 dog for the department of corrections when such a dog is
2 8 injured or destroyed, the executive council shall consider the
2 9 original source of the funds for acquisition of the property
2 10 before authorizing the expenditure. If the original source
2 11 was other than the general fund of the state, the department
2 12 or agency shall be directed to utilize moneys from the
2 13 original source if possible. The executive council shall not
2 14 authorize the repairing, rebuilding, or restoring of the
2 15 property from the disaster aid contingent fund if it
2 16 determines that moneys from the original source are available
2 17 to finance the project.
2 18 EXPLANATION
2 19 This bill relates to the purchase of a police service dog
2 20 by the department of corrections.
2 21 The bill provides that funds from the contingent fund for
2 22 disaster aid in Code section 29C.20 may be used in the
2 23 purchase of a department of corrections' police service dog if
2 24 a police service dog was injured or destroyed. The bill
2 25 requires the department to utilize other sources of available
2 26 funding before requesting moneys from the contingent fund for
2 27 disaster aid.
