appointed by Governor -- Payment of awards -- Cost of operation.
The assistant attorneys general or attorneys, appointed by the Governor to
represent the Commonwealth's cabinets, departments, agencies or employees,
agents or officers thereof, assigned to defend claims filed with the board shall
receive no additional compensation for the performance of their duties before the
board; provided, however, members of the board, assistant attorneys general and all
employees acting for the board shall be recompensed for all necessary and actual
expenses they may incur incident to their duties for or before the board. All awards
and cost of operation assessed by the board against the Department of Highways
shall be paid out of state road fund, upon warrants drawn by the secretary of the
Finance and Administration Cabinet upon the State Treasurer. All awards and cost
of operation assessed by the board against other cabinets or agencies of the state,
which are not maintained by appropriations out of the general fund, shall be paid out
of the funds created or collected for the maintenance and operation of such cabinets
or agencies respectively, upon warrants drawn by the secretary of the Finance and
Administration Cabinet upon the State Treasurer. All amounts necessary to pay
awards and cost of operation assessed by the board against all other cabinets or
agencies of the Commonwealth shall be paid out of the general fund of the
Commonwealth, upon warrants drawn by the secretary of the Finance and
Administration Cabinet upon the State Treasurer. The executive secretary of the
board shall maintain accurate records reflecting the costs incident to the operation of
the board. At the close of each quarter-year period he shall summarize the cost and
shall bill each cabinet, commission, board or agency which has had cases before the
board for a pro rata share of the cost of operation for the appropriate calendar
quarter computed in a manner deemed just and equitable by the board. Each
cabinet, commission, board or agency shall remit quarterly their share of the cost of
operation to the board in the manner provided by law. The Board of Claims shall
have the power and authority to determine the right of any successful party to an
action before it to recover from the opposing party the costs incurred by him or it in
such action; and such decision shall not be subject to appeal. Costs shall not include
attorneys' fees.
