Officers and employees who perform services pursuant to this article shall be compensated at the same rate paid for their services during the session. The allowances and compensation provided for in this section shall be paid only out of any money appropriated for the payment of legislative help. Claims for such allowances and compensation shall be paid by warrants drawn by the State Controller upon the State Treasurer, after certification by the Speaker.
