The following conditions shall govern the exchanges:(1) Each person coming to the State on exchange shall have qualifications substantially equal to those of the employee who is exchanged for the person.
(2) The person exchanged from the State shall have served within the State as an employee of the State or county, as the case may be, not less than three years before the beginning of the exchange period.
(3) In the selection of employees for exchange from the State, preference shall be given to persons born in the State.
(4) The person exchanged by any state or subdivision thereof shall hold in the government of the state or subdivision a position which is substantially equivalent to the position of the employee for whom the person is exchanged.
(5) The person exchanged from the State shall be paid the person's regular salary by the State or county, as the case may be, but nothing in addition thereto.
(6) The State or county, as the case may be, shall not pay any traveling or other expenses of any person or employee exchanged to or from the State on any contract of exchange, and this prohibition shall apply to all traveling, transportation, board, lodging, or other expense incidental to or arising out of the exchange.
(7) The State or county, as the case may be, shall not pay any compensation to any person coming to the State under any contract or exchange; provided that in any case where the person exchanged from the State becomes incapacitated or for any reason leaves the person's exchange position during the period of the exchange, the State or county, as the case may be, may reimburse the employer of the visiting exchange person an amount not to exceed the salary of the person exchanged from the State, until the end of the exchange period or until such time as some adjustment satisfactory to the State or county is made. Contracts of exchange shall provide that in a corresponding situation the exchange state or subdivision thereof shall reimburse the employer of the employee exchanged from the State.
