§43A-2-214.
   
   The Commissioner of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is
   authorized to establish training schools within the Department or
   within any of the institutions operated by the Department, for the
   training of necessary personnel for the institutions, or may arrange
   for the training of employees or prospective employees in any public
   or private school or institution within this state or elsewhere having
   available facilities for that purpose. Funds of the Department and/or
   institutions under its control may be used to pay salaries to
   employees, or to pay tuition and subsistence for employees or
   prospective employees, while receiving such training. Any employee or
   prospective employee who is paid a salary, or for whom tuition and
   subsistence are furnished, while receiving such training, shall be
   required to enter into a contract prior to receiving such training,
   that unless he continues in the employ of the Department for at least
   a period equivalent to the training, he will reimburse to the
   Department the sum paid to or for him by the Department during the
   period of his training.
