2. Shall be used to manage trust lands as prescribed by law and to prepare state lands for sale or lease as prescribed by law.

For the purposes of this paragraph, the commissioner may only use monies collected pursuant to section 37-107, subsection B, paragraph 1 and the commissioner may not divert more than ten percent of the revenues collected pursuant to section 37-107, subsection B, paragraph 1 in any one fiscal year.
C. The commissioner shall administer the fund. On notice from the commissioner, the state treasurer shall invest and divest monies in the fund as provided by section 35-313, and monies earned from investment shall be credited to the fund.
D. Monies in the fund are exempt from the provisions of section 35-190 relating to lapsing of appropriations, but if the balance in the fund at the end of any fiscal year exceeds two times the budget of the department for the management of trust lands for the next fiscal year, the excess amount shall be credited proportionately to the several permanent funds based on the last fiscal year's deposits.
E. This section does not prevent the legislature from appropriating state general fund monies for the purposes described in this section.
