(a)Whenever any moneys are granted, collected from or given by any person, firm, corporation or association, or by the United States or any department, instrumentality or agency thereof, to the department of labor or to the office of the secretary of labor, which moneys are granted, collected or given for a specific use or purpose, the secretary of labor, on behalf of the office of the secretary, the department of labor or the state, may accept or reject any such grant, collection or gift and may enter into contracts or agreements necessary or expedient to the acceptance, collection, management or accountability of such grant, collection or gift. Any grant, collection or gift so accepted and the program therefor shall be known as a special project.

(b)The secretary of labor shall remit all moneys received by or for the secretary for any special project to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215 , and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the department of labor special projects fund. On and after July 1, 2004, the human resources special projects fund is hereby redesignated as the department of labor special projects fund. Whenever the human resources special projects fund, or words of like effect, are referred to or designated by a statute, rule and regulation, contract or other document, such reference or designation shall be deemed to apply to the department of labor special projects fund. All expenditures from such fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation acts and any applicable contract or agreement upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the secretary, or by a person or persons designated by the secretary.

(c)The secretary of labor may employ such personnel as may be necessary, in the judgment of the secretary, to effect any special project.

All persons employed for any other special project, or where conditions of the grant, collection, contract, agreement or gift so stipulate, shall be in the classified service under the Kansas civil service act.
