41-2306. Tourism fund
(Caution: 1998 Prop 105 applies)
A. The tourism fund is established consisting of separate accounts derived from:
1. State general fund monies appropriated to the fund by the legislature. All monies in this account are continuously appropriated to the office of tourism for the purposes of operations and statewide tourism promotion.
2. Revenues deposited pursuant to section 5-835, subsection B or C. All monies in this account are continuously appropriated to the office of tourism, which, in consultation with a consortium of destination marketing organizations in the county in which the tourism and sports authority is established, shall be spent to promote tourism within that county. For fiscal years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, fifty per cent of the revenues deposited in the tourism fund pursuant to this paragraph may be expended by the office of tourism for operational and administrative purposes.
3. Revenues deposited pursuant to section 42-6108.01. The legislature shall appropriate all monies in this account to the office of tourism, which, in conjunction with the destination marketing organization in the county in which the tax revenues are collected, shall be spent only to promote tourism within that county and shall not be spent for administrative or overhead expenses.
4. Revenues deposited pursuant to section 5-601.02(H)(3)(b)(iv). The office of tourism shall administer the account. The account is not subject to appropriation, and expenditures from the fund are not subject to outside approval notwithstanding any statutory provision to the contrary. Monies received pursuant to section 5-601.02 shall be deposited directly with this account. On notice from the office of tourism, the state treasurer may invest and divest monies in the account as provided by section 35-313, and monies earned from investment shall be credited to the account. No monies in the account shall revert to or be deposited in any other fund, including the state general fund. Monies in this account shall supplement, not supplant, current funds in other accounts of the tourism fund. Monies in this account shall be spent only to promote tourism within the state and shall not be used for administrative or overhead expenses.
B. Monies in the fund are exempt from the provisions of section 35-190 relating to lapsing of appropriations.
