Section 20
SEC. 20. Section six hundred and ninety-two of the Administrative Code is hereby amended to read as follows: "SEC. 692. Liability of disbursing officer for pay of such person.—When the Commissioner of Civil Service finds that any person is holding a position in the classified service in violation of law, he shall certify such fact to the Auditor General and to the disbursing officer through whom the payment of salary or wages to such person is by law required to be made. If the Auditor-General finds that a disbursing officer has paid or permitted to be paid salary or wages to any person illegally holding a classified position, the whole amount paid shall be disallowed and the disbursing officer shall not receive credit for the same unless the Auditor General shall find that the chief of the bureau or office is responsible, as above provided, for the payment of such person and that such payment is not due to the failure of the disbursing officer to obtain the evidence required in section six hundred and ninety hereof. In case the disbursing officer is not responsible for the illegal payment, he shall be directed to withhold from the salary of the chief of. the Bureau or office responsible for the illegal employment an amount equal to that disallowed by the Auditor General."
