direction of the secretary.

(b) The offices of the assistants and employees appointed to

perform these duties shall be located where designated by the

secretary, except that they shall not be located in any of the

legislative chambers, offices, rooms or halls. Office hours shall

be arranged so that emergency or telephone service is available at

all times. The hours shall be arranged so that janitorial service

shall not interfere with other employment during regular office hours.

succeeding fiscal years. This Fund shall consist of moneys

deposited in the fund pursuant to the provisions of section two-a,

article eight, chapter three of this code as well as interest
