TITLE 2 AGRICULTURE

Section 8. Agricultural Commodities Promotion, 2-8-1 through 2-8-135.

ARTICLE 2 AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY COMMISSIONS GENERALLY

2-8-17. Funds of commissions - Treatment as trust funds.

Funds received by the Commissioner under this article shall be held in trust for the affected commission. Such funds shall be deposited, accounted for, and disbursed in the same manner as the funds of this state but shall not be required to be deposited in the state treasury and appropriated therefrom as are other state funds. It is the express intent and purpose of this article to authorize the receipt, collection, and disbursement by the Commissioner of such funds as trust funds of the affected entity without complying with the requirement applicable to funds collected for the use and benefit of the state.
