Kansas Statutes Chapter 75. State Departments; Public Officers and Employees § 75-3713a. Same; loans or grants to political subdivisions for certain purposes; expenditure authorization

(a) By unanimous vote of all of its members, the state finance council is hereby authorized and empowered to make loans or grants of funds in the state emergency fund, which is provided for in K.S.A. 75-3712, to cities, townships, counties and other political subdivisions, for the purpose of repairing or replacing any building or equipment owned by any such political subdivision which has been damaged or destroyed by sabotage, fire, wind, tornado, catastrophe or act of God, if such building or equipment is essential to the performance of a governmental function of the political subdivision and cannot be repaired or replaced by other means available to the political subdivision without undue interruption of the governmental function.

(b) Whenever a city, township, county or other political subdivision has any building or equipment damaged or destroyed by sabotage, fire, wind, tornado, catastrophe or act of God, such political subdivision may apply to the state finance council for a loan or grant of funds under this section. The loan or grant of funds by the state finance council under this section shall constitute authorization for such political subdivision to expend said funds to repair or replace any such damaged or destroyed building or equipment, if other authority does not exist therefor. Any funds received by a political subdivision pursuant to this section may be expended in the budget year in which they are received, even though the same were not included in such political subdivision's budget of expenditures for such year.
