Section 15-0113. State to be reimbursed for costs

In the event that the department shall carry out a project paid for by
  the  beneficiaries,  as  provided  by various parts in this article, the
  department may, if  such  procedure  shall  be  found  to  be  just  and
  reasonable,  require  that  the  state be reimbursed for costs which may
  have been paid from state appropriations. This reimbursement  may  cover
  costs and expenses incurred prior to the time the project funds could be
  made  available  for  salaries and expenses for regular employees of any
  state department who may have devoted all or a part  of  their  time  to
  that  particular  project,  except  this is not intended to apply to the
  salaries of the members  of  the  department  engaged  only  in  general
  administrative work in connection with the project.
