40.560 Board of review -- Appointment -- Manner of deciding each claim -- Compensation -- Dissolution. (1) There shall be a board of review consisting of nine (9) persons who are residents and qualified voters of the Commonwealth, appointed by the Governor without
limitation as to political affiliation, religion, race, sex, or past or present service in
the Armed Forces, except that six (6) members of this board shall be veterans. The
name of said board shall be "The Vietnam Veterans' Bonus Board of Review." The
Governor shall designate a chairman and a secretary from among the membership. (2) Three (3) members and no more shall constitute a board of review, and shall by concurrence of two (2) members decide any claim which comes before the board in
the manner provided in KRS 40.520. The chairman of the board shall designate
three (3) members to consider and decide each claim, having due regard for
availability for service so that delay may be avoided. (3) The chairman and secretary shall devote their full time to the affairs of the board and shall receive compensation at the rate to be fixed in accordance with personnel
standards fixed by the commissioner of personnel until the functions of the board
are performed and the board is dissolved as hereinafter provided. Other members of
the board shall be compensated fifty dollars ($50) per diem, but only for actual time
served in considering and deciding claims for veterans' bonuses pursuant to
designation by the chairman. All members of the board shall be reimbursed for
necessary travel to and from their places of residence, and in performance of duties
pursuant to assignment, at the rate of eighteen cents ($0.18) per mile. (4) Each claim coming before the board shall promptly be considered and decided by the three (3) members designated for that purpose. In every case, the board shall
either affirm the decision of the administrator, or determine that a veterans' bonus
should be paid, and to what persons and in what amounts. No written opinions or
recitations of reasons for any decision need be made. A statement of the decision
made shall be signed by at least two (2) of the three (3) members designated to
decide the claim, and upon concurrence of two (2) members, a decision shall be
final and not subject to reconsideration. (5) When, after the thirty-first day of January, 1992, the board of review shall have decided all cases coming before it for decision, the chairman shall report such fact
to the Governor in writing. The Governor shall thereupon declare that the board of
review is dissolved, and shall so notify the members, and the functions and duties of
the board shall be deemed to have been fully performed. Effective: March 1, 1991
