Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 15, § 598. Criminal Identification and Information Dedicated Fund Account

All fees imposed and collected pursuant to R.S. 15:587 or any other provision of law in this Chapter shall be forwarded upon receipt to the state treasurer for immediate deposit into the state treasury. After compliance with the requirements of Article VII, Section 9(B) of the Constitution of Louisiana relative to the Bond Security and Redemption Fund, and prior to monies being placed in the state general fund, an amount equal to that deposited as required in this Section shall be credited to a special statutorily dedicated fund account hereby created in the state treasury designated as the Criminal Identification and Information Dedicated Fund Account. All monies in this account shall annually be appropriated by the legislature to the state police, may be withdrawn only pursuant to such appropriation, and shall be used solely and exclusively by the state police to assist in carrying out the provisions of this Chapter and for special law enforcement initiatives. Monies in the account shall be invested by the state treasurer in the same manner as monies in the state general fund. Interest earned on the investment of monies shall be credited to this account following compliance with the requirements of Article VII, Section 9(B) of the Constitution of Louisiana relative to the Bond Security and Redemption Fund. All unexpended and unencumbered monies in the account at the end of each fiscal year shall remain in the account. Monies deposited into the account shall be categorized as fees and self-generated revenue for the sole purpose of reporting related to the executive budget, supporting documents, and general appropriation bills and shall be available for annual appropriation by the legislature.
