§ 100400 Special Deposit Fund Deposits

This law says any money the state gets from non‑federal sources that the department handles must be put into a special fund, with a separate account for each kind of grant or donation, and can be spent for its intended purpose whenever needed.

Key Takeaways

  • •All non‑federal money handled by the department goes into the Special Deposit Fund.
  • •The Controller must set up separate accounts for each class of grant or donation.
  • •The money can be spent for its intended purpose without waiting for a new fiscal year.

Example

A state university receives a $2 million grant from a private foundation for a new research lab.

The grant money must be deposited into the Special Deposit Fund in its own account, tracked by the Controller, and the university can use the money for the lab project at any time, even if the fiscal year changes.
