(b) Moneys in the children's digital protection fund may be expended, subject to appropriation by the general assembly, for the following purposes:

(c) As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:

(d) The attorney general and reporter shall determine the amount of the net recovery and direct the deposit of that amount to the children's digital protection fund.  Moneys in the fund must be expended and obligated only in accordance with this section and appropriations made by the general assembly.  This section does not prevent the fund from also receiving moneys from other sources.

(e) Moneys in the children's digital protection fund must be invested by the state treasurer in accordance with § 9-4-603.  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, interest accruing on investments and deposits of the fund must be credited to the fund, and remain part of the fund.  Any unencumbered moneys and any unexpended balance of the fund remaining at the end of a fiscal year must not revert to the general fund but must be carried forward until expended in accordance with this section.
