Sec. 27-86. Funds to pay allowances; State Treasurer authorized to borrow.
Whenever the provisions of this chapter relating to separation allowances become operative through the calling of the National Guard or other forces into active service, the
commissioner shall pay such allowances as are to be paid out of any funds which the
state may have available for such purposes and, if no funds are available, the State
Treasurer is authorized to borrow, in the name of the state, on notes, such funds as are
necessary to administer such provisions. In either case said commissioner shall certify
to the General Assembly at its next regular session the amount expended, or, if such
provisions are at that time operative, shall certify to the amount expended under them
up to and including the first Wednesday of December preceding the convening of the
General Assembly, and in either case the General Assembly shall appropriate sufficient
funds to cover such expenditures; and, in the event of the existence of circumstances
making such provisions still operative, the General Assembly shall take the necessary
steps to provide for the requisite expense.
