B. All money recovered through fraud detection shall be deposited into the state treasury after reimbursement of the federal funding agency's share.
C.(1) After compliance with the requirements of Article VII, Section 9(B) of the Constitution of Louisiana relative to the Bond Security and Redemption Fund, and prior to monies being placed in the state general fund, the following amounts shall be credited to the fund:
(a) An amount equal to that deposited as required by Subsection B of this Section.
(b) An amount equal to that deposited in accordance with R.S. 46:231.14(G).
(2) The monies in this fund shall be used solely as provided by Subsection D of this Section and only in the amounts appropriated by the legislature.

These funds shall not be used to replace, displace, or supplant state general funds appropriated for daily operation of any regional fraud detection activities of the office of children and family services.
E. All unexpended and unencumbered monies in the fund at the end of each fiscal year shall remain in the fund to the credit of the office of children and family services.
