67-2318. EMERGENCY EXPENDITURES. Whenever the governor shall direct an investigation under the provisions of this act and it appears to him that the division of building safety is in emergency need of the consultant services of a specialist in fire prevention methods or in corrective structural procedures, he is authorized in his discretion to pay from the appropriation herein made, or from any other emergency or disaster relief fund available to him, the expense of such consultant services.
If it appears to the satisfaction of the governor that the official or agency in direct control of a public building is unable to comply with any recommendation or decision of the division of building safety because of lack of appropriated funds, the governor may order payment in whole or in part of expenses involved in the elimination or amelioration of hazards from the money herein appropriated or from any appropriation made available to him for emergency or disaster relief.
