§ 76-326b — Geological survey fund established; expenditures from fund for benefit of state geological survey

The state corporation commission shall remit all moneys received by or for it from fees collected under K.S.A. 55-151, and amendments thereto, to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the geological survey fund. Because the operation of the state geological survey provides a direct benefit to the oil and gas industry of Kansas, expenditures from the geological survey fund shall be for the construction, renovation, reconstruction and maintenance of buildings and facilities for the geological survey and for the acquisition and replacement of equipment for the state geological survey. Expenditures from the geological survey fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the chancellor of the university of Kansas or by a person or persons designated by the chancellor.
