California Code, Government Code - GOV § 76103

To assist any county in the funding and maintenance of a criminal justice forensic laboratory, the board of supervisors may, by resolution, establish in the county treasury a forensic laboratory fund.  The fund moneys, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be held by the county treasurer separate from any funds subject to transfer or division pursuant to Section 1463 of the Penal Code.  The moneys in the Forensic Laboratory Fund together with any interest earned thereon shall be payable only for the construction, reconstruction, expansion, improvement, operation, including personnel or related costs, or maintenance of Forensic Laboratory Facilities.  The money in the fund may be used through any public agency funding mechanism including, but not limited to, retirement of bonded indebtedness, loan repayments, and monthly payments involving lease-purchase programs, which reduce an obligation incurred in reliance upon the authority granted by this section.
