PAG LIN 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. 2 28 LSB 2326SS 80 2 29 jm/cl/14
