(2) However, any contributions of reserve funds held in trust under § 14-73-101 et seq. or any official action of the governing body of a municipal electric utility or other trust-related agreements shall be made on the condition that the funds may be used only for the purposes described in the applicable trust agreement and until so used shall remain in a trust fund complying with the requirements of § 14-73-101 et seq. or any applicable official action of the governing body of a municipal electric utility or any other trust-related agreements.
