Sec. 10. (a) The Indiana tobacco use prevention and cessation trust fund is established. The state department of health may expend money from the fund and make grants from the fund to implement the long range state plan established under this chapter. Administrative expenses necessary to carry out this chapter are also payable from the fund.
(b) The fund consists of:
(1) amounts, if any, that another statute requires to be distributed to the fund from the Indiana tobacco master settlement agreement fund;
(2) appropriations to the fund from other sources;
(3) grants, gifts, and donations intended for deposit in the fund; and
(4) interest that accrues from money in the fund.
(c) The fund shall be administered by the state department of health. Notwithstanding IC 5-13, the treasurer of state shall invest the money in the fund not currently needed to meet the obligations of the fund in the same manner as money is invested by the Indiana public retirement system under IC 5-10.3-5. The treasurer of state may contract with investment management professionals, investment advisors, and legal counsel to assist in the investment of the fund and may pay the expenses incurred under those contracts from the fund. Money in the fund at the end of a state fiscal year does not revert to the state general fund.
(d) All income and assets of the executive board deposited in the fund are for the use of the state department of health after appropriation.
