Sec. 13. (a) There is created a fund known as the law enforcement academy fund.  The fund consists of amounts deposited under IC 33-37-7-9.  This fund may be used by the board for the following:

(1) To acquire for the state land and interests in and to land, and to construct upon such land a fully equipped law enforcement academy to consist of classrooms, housing facilities, a cafeteria, firearms ranges, a driving course, and other physical facilities which are deemed necessary in the discretion of the board for the basic, inservice, and advanced training of law enforcement officers in the skills and techniques of law enforcement.

(2) Expenditures may be made by the board for, among other things, all expenses required for land acquisition and transfer, including but not limited to personal services, appraisers fees, and the cost of acquiring any interest in land and the construction and maintenance of improvements thereon.

(3) Building and grounds maintenance for the law enforcement academy.

(4) Training equipment and supplies necessary to operate the law enforcement academy.

(5) Aid to approved law enforcement training schools certified as having met or exceeded the minimum standards established by the board.

(6) Personal services, as authorized by the board, with the approval of the governor.

(7) Any other purpose necessary to carry out this chapter, as determined by the board.

(b) The budget agency may, with the approval of the board and the governor, make allocations and transfers of funds appropriated by the general assembly to state agencies having jurisdiction and control over land acquired by the board for the purposes stated in this section, except that these allocations and transfers may not be made in the acquisition of land which has been declared surplus land of the state pursuant to statute.

(c) The board is further authorized to acquire land for the purposes of this section and law enforcement academy buildings by gift, donation, bequest, devise, exchange, purchase, or eminent domain, or other means.  However, any money or proceeds from gifts, bequests, grants, or other donations shall be deposited in a special donation fund, which must be established for the purposes described in this section, for the use of the board to accomplish the purposes of this section.  No part of the special donation fund reverts to the general fund unless specified by the donor as a condition to the donor's gift.  All land and academy buildings, however acquired, become the property of the state.
