The division may employ staff <br>and may acquire technical or professional assistance as determined to be necessary <br>by the director of the division, and for whom federal, state, or other funds have been <br>provided. <br>(2) Persons employed under this section shall report to the director of the division and <br>shall implement policies and directives of the commission as specified by the <br>director. Other employees of the division may also support the commission and <br>assist in the implementation of hazardous substance planning, reporting, <br>investigation, training, and exercising as directed by the director. In cases when the <br>commission develops policies or directives which cannot reasonably be <br>implemented by division staff, the director may defer implementation until <br>sufficient resources exist. In cases when the director advises the commission, in <br>writing, that the division cannot provide requested resources, the commission may <br>seek assistance from other agencies of state government. <br>(3) In no case shall the director devote division resources to support the commission if <br>that support would result in the withdrawal of federal or state funds from the <br>division. <br>(4) The division shall, upon concurrence by the director, promulgate administrative <br>regulations recommended by the commission and consistent with Title III, Pub. L. <br>No. 99-499.
