In connection with any position in the classified or unclassified service of the Kansas civil service act, any state agency may furnish housing, food service and other employee maintenance or any one or combination thereof. Whenever a state employee is to receive housing, food service or other employee maintenance furnished by any state agency, the terms upon which the same is to be furnished shall be approved by the state finance council. In accordance with rules and regulations adopted under this section, the state finance council may approve the furnishing of housing, food service and other employee maintenance or any one or combination thereof by a state agency with full, partial or no adjustment to wage or salary of the position involved. Housing, food service and other employee maintenance shall not be provided at rates greater than cost. Whenever housing, food service or other employee maintenance is furnished by any state agency, the documents authorizing the same shall specify the types of employee maintenance to be provided and the dollar value thereof that is to be regarded as compensation, and the balance of value in each case shall be regarded as the expense of the state benefit from the arrangement. The secretary of administration shall adopt rules and regulations as provided in K.S.A. 75-3706 for determination of cost, for the manner of determining and reporting the value of such approved housing, food service, or other employee maintenance to comply with the provisions contained in K.S.A. 40-2301 et seq., K.S.A. 74-4901 et seq., federal revenue act as defined by K.S.A. 75-3038, Kansas income tax act and the employment security law and acts amendatory of the foregoing or supplemental thereto and for the administration of this act.
