(a) In the event the United States Congress shall appropriate funds for the benefit of the state or any state agency or in the event any federal funds shall be paid to the state or any agency thereof for the purpose of reimbursing the state for funds previously paid out, and in the event any such federal funds are deposited into the State Treasury and there is no law providing for the depositing of such moneys in a state fund or appropriating them from a state fund, taking into consideration the provisions and requirements of the miscellaneous federal grant appropriation, then the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State shall have the authority to direct the State Treasury to establish funds, fund accounts, or accounts on the books of the various fiscal officers of the state for the purpose of handling and disbursing these federal funds.

(b) Any such federal funds shall be handled only in accordance with the purpose for which the funds were granted to, or paid over to, the state or any agency thereof. All such federal funds shall be subject to the procedures prescribed by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State for the disbursement of funds.
