246.21 CONTINGENT FUND.
The commissioner of human services may permit a contingent fund to remain in the hands
of the accounting officer of any such institution from which expenditures may be made in case
of actual emergency requiring immediate payment to prevent loss or danger to the institution
or its inmates and for the purpose of paying freight, purchasing produce, livestock and other
commodities requiring a cash settlement, and for the purpose of discounting bills incurred, but in
all cases subject to revision by the commissioner of human services. An itemized statement of
every expenditure made during the month from such fund shall be submitted to the commissioner
under rules established by the commissioner. If necessary, the commissioner shall make proper
requisition upon the commissioner of finance for a warrant to secure the contingent fund for
each institution.
