family of any adult resident of this state, committed to any one of the state
institutions under his or her supervision whenever he or she is satisfied that
the destitution has resulted from the commitment; provided, the contributions
shall not continue beyond the period of commitment. The general assembly shall
annually appropriate such sum as it may deem necessary for the payment of
contributions, and the state controller shall draw his or her order or orders

may be necessary for such purpose, upon the receipt by him or her of proper
vouchers signed by the director.
