The SBE Federal Department of Agriculture Fund is created as a federal trust fund in the State treasury. This fund is established to receive funds from the federal Department of Agriculture, including non-indirect cost administrative funds recovered from federal programs, for the specific purposes established by the terms and conditions of federal awards. Moneys in the SBE Federal Department of Agriculture Fund shall be used, subject to appropriation by the General Assembly, for grants and contracts to local education agencies, colleges and universities, and other State agencies and for administrative expenses of the State Board of Education. However, non-appropriated spending is allowed for the refund of unexpended grant moneys to the federal government.
     On or after July 1, 2007, the State Board of Education shall notify the State Comptroller of the amount of indirect federal funds in the SBE Federal Department of Agriculture Fund to be transferred to the State Board of Education Special Purpose Trust Fund. The State Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer this amount to the State Board of Education Special Purpose Trust Fund as soon as practical thereafter.
