The committee may accept on behalf of, and in the name of, the fund, such gifts, donations, bequests, and devises as are made for the purposes of the fund. Such gifts, donations, bequests, and devises may be made subject to such conditions or restrictions as the committee may prescribe.
Any donor to the fund may impose conditions to his gift, donation, bequest, or devise. The committee shall review all such conditions and make a recommendation to the governing board as to the compatibility of such conditions with the intent and purpose of the fund. The governing board shall have the authority to prohibit the committee from accepting any proposed donation to the fund if conditions with respect to the gift, donation, bequest, or devise are incompatible with the intent and purpose of the fund, as determined by the governing board.
Except as provided in this section, in no event shall the approval of any state agency be a prerequisite to acceptance by the committee of any gift, donation, bequest, or devise.
