(1) money transferred to the fund at the direction of the legislature;

(3) the earnings of the fund; and
(4) money deposited to the credit of the fund under Section 504.679, Transportation Code.

The department may use the money only for the creation and maintenance of the open burn pit registry established under Section 99.003, except that the department may use the money for any other purpose of the department consistent with legislative appropriation of the money if the department finds that the registry is adequately funded and contributions to the fund exceed the amount necessary for the registry to be adequately funded.
