There shall be a board of review consisting of nine (9) persons who are
residents and qualified voters of the Commonwealth, appointed by the
Governor without limitation as to political affiliation, religion, race, sex, or past
or present service in the Armed Forces, except that six (6) members of this
board shall be veterans. The name of said board shall be "The Vietnam
Veterans' Bonus Board of Review." The Governor shall designate a chairman
and a secretary from among the membership.
Three (3) members and no more shall constitute a board of review, and shall
by concurrence of two (2) members decide any claim which comes before the
board in the manner provided in KRS 40.520. The chairman of the board shall
designate three (3) members to consider and decide each claim, having due
regard for availability for service so that delay may be avoided.
The chairman and secretary shall devote their full time to the affairs of the
board and shall receive compensation at the rate to be fixed in accordance with
personnel standards fixed by the commissioner of personnel until the functions
of the board are performed and the board is dissolved as hereinafter provided.
Other members of the board shall be compensated fifty dollars ($50) per diem,
but only for actual time served in considering and deciding claims for veterans'
bonuses pursuant to designation by the chairman. All members of the board
shall be reimbursed for necessary travel to and from their places of residence,
and in performance of duties pursuant to assignment, at the rate of eighteen
cents ($0.18) per mile.
Each claim coming before the board shall promptly be considered and decided
by the three (3) members designated for that purpose. In every case, the board
shall either affirm the decision of the administrator, or determine that a
veterans' bonus should be paid, and to what persons and in what amounts. No
written opinions or recitations of reasons for any decision need be made. A
statement of the decision made shall be signed by at least two (2) of the three
(3) members designated to decide the claim, and upon concurrence of two (2)
members, a decision shall be final and not subject to reconsideration.
When, after the thirty-first day of January, 1992, the board of review shall have
decided all cases coming before it for decision, the chairman shall report such
fact to the Governor in writing. The Governor shall thereupon declare that the
board of review is dissolved, and shall so notify the members, and the
functions and duties of the board shall be deemed to have been fully
performed.
