SECTION 2010-2015

2010. As used in this chapter, "State agency" means any department,
division, board, bureau, or commission of the State.

2011. The Department of Finance shall ascertain and secure from the
several State agencies tentative plans for the extension of public
works which are best adapted to supply increased opportunities for
advantageous public labor during periods of temporary unemployment.
Such plans shall include estimates of the amount, character, and
duration of employment, the number of employees who could be
profitably employed therein, together with rates of wages and other
information which the Department of Finance deems necessary.

2012. The Division of Labor Statistics and Research shall keep
constantly advised of industrial conditions throughout the State as
affecting the employment of labor. Whenever the Governor represents
or the division has reason to believe, that a period of extraordinary
unemployment caused by industrial depression exists in the State, it
shall immediately hold an inquiry into the facts relating thereto,
and report to the Governor whether, in fact, such condition exists.

2013. If the Division of Labor Statistics and Research reports to
the Governor that a condition of extraordinary unemployment caused by
industrial depression does exist within this State, the Department
of Finance may apportion the available Emergency Fund among the
several State agencies for the extension of the public works of the
State under the charge or direction thereof, in the manner which the
Department of Finance believes to be best adapted to advance the
public interest by providing the maximum of public employment
consistent with the most useful, permanent, and economic extension of
public works.

2014. The Department of Employment Development immediately upon the
publication of a finding under this chapter that a period of
extraordinary unemployment due to industrial depression exists
throughout this state shall prepare approved lists of applicants for
public employment, secure full information as to their industrial
qualifications, and shall submit the same to the Department of
Finance for transmission to the state agencies which avail themselves
of the provisions of this chapter.

2015. Preference for employment under this chapter shall be
extended: First, to citizens of this State. Second, to citizens of
other States within the United States, who are within the State at
the time of making application. Third, to aliens who are within the
State at the time of making application.
