Terms Used In N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law 325
- Board: shall mean the workers' compensation board. See N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law 302
- Chairman: shall mean the chairman of the workers' compensation board. See N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law 302
- Civil defense volunteers: shall include those members of the civil defense forces under the provisions of the state defense emergency act who are volunteer persons serving without compensation in the personnel of volunteer agencies. See N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law 302
- Commission: shall mean the state civil defense commission created by article three of the state defense emergency act, and "state director" shall mean the New York state director of civil defense appointed under the provisions of said act. See N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law 302
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
At least thirty days prior to the first days of April and October in each year, the chairman shall submit to the director of the budget for his approval an estimated budget of expenditures for the succeeding six months. In the event of attack within the state for which civil defense volunteers are mobilized or outside the state if, in accordance with a mutual aid agreement approved by the New York state civil defense commission, civil defense volunteers of any local office respond to a request for assistance, the chairman shall prepare and submit to the director of the budget for his approval an estimated budget of expenditures for funds to be allocated to the board during the period of emergency. There may not be expended for purposes of such administration more than the amounts specified in such budget for each item of expenditure, except as authorized by the director of the budget. The funds so allocated by the director of the budget shall be available to the workmen's compensation board for services and expenses, including travel outside the state, to carry out the provisions of this article and shall be paid from the treasury on audit and warrant of the comptroller on vouchers approved by the chairman, vice chairman or secretary of the board. If there be officers or employees of the board whose duties relate partly to the general work of the board and partly to such administration, and in case there is other expense which is incurred jointly on behalf of the general work of the board and to such administration, an equitable apportionment of the expense shall be made and the part thereof which is applicable to administration as provided in this article shall be chargeable thereto.
