75-3218. Recruitment of certain personnel, expense payments; when and how authorized. For any position in state service requiring professional, technical or unusual qualifications and where persons with such qualifications, after reasonable inquiry are found to be substantially unavailable within the state but qualified applicants have been or may be found in another state, the head of any state agency, as defined by K.S.A. 75-3701, may offer with the prior approval of the state finance council, to pay transportation and subsistence expenses for such applicants from their usual place of residence to the office of said agency head for interview. Such travel and subsistence shall be paid at the same rates and subject to the same limitations as now provided for state employees for out-of-state travel. Such travel and subsistence shall be paid from funds available or appropriated to such agency for travel and subsistence, and the director of accounts and reports is authorized to draw his or her warrant against the appropriate agency fund for payment of any such travel and subsistence upon submission to him or her of a duly itemized voucher therefor.
