Sec. 12. (a) A special and distinct revolving fund is hereby created, to be known as the Indiana port fund. Expenditures from said fund shall be made only for the following:
(1) Acquisition of land, including lands under water and riparian rights, or options for the purchase of such land for a port or project site, and incidental expenses incurred in connection with such acquisition.
(2) Studies in connection with the port or project.
(3) Studies in connection with transportation by water, intermodal transportation, and other modes of transportation.
(4) Transfers to the fund established by IC 14-13-2-19 to carry out the purposes of IC 14-13-2.
(5) Administrative expenses of the ports of Indiana.
The fund shall be held in the name of the ports of Indiana, shall be administered by the ports of Indiana, and all expenditures therefrom shall be made by the ports of Indiana, subject, however, to the approval by governor and the budget committee of all expenditures of moneys advanced to said fund by the state of Indiana. Requests for such approval shall be made in such form as shall be prescribed by the budget committee, but expenditures for acquisition of land including lands under water and riparian rights, or options for the purchase of such land, shall be specifically requested and approved as to the land to be acquired and the amount to be expended. No transfers from said fund to any other fund of the state shall be made except pursuant to legislative action.
(b) Upon the sale of revenue bonds for any port or project, the funds expended from the Indiana port fund in connection with the development of such port or project and any obligation or expense incurred by the ports of Indiana for surveys, preparation of plans and specifications, and other engineering or other services in connection with development of such port or project shall be reimbursed to the state general fund from the proceeds of such bonds.
