A. There is created within the State Treasury a cost-share fund for the State Board of Agriculture to be designated the "Forestry Cost-Share Fund". The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies received by the Board to implement and maintain the forestry cost-share program.
B. The Forestry Cost-Share Fund shall consist of:
1. Money received by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry in the form of gifts, grants, reimbursements, donations, forest industry contributions, funds allocated by federal agencies for landowner forestry cost-share programs, and other monies specifically designated for the forestry cost-share program. All monies accruing to the credit of the fund are appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the Board for the forestry cost-share program; and
2. Interest attributable to investment of money in the Forestry Cost-Share Fund.
C. All donations or other proceeds received by the Department pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be deposited with the State Treasurer to be credited to the Forestry Cost-Share Fund. Expenditures from the fund shall be made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by law with the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for approval and payment.
D. The monies deposited in the Forestry Cost-Share Fund shall at no time become part of the general budget of the Department or any other state agency. Except for any administration costs incurred in development and implementation of the forestry cost-share program, no monies from the Fund shall be transferred for any purpose to any other state agency or any account of the Board or Department or be used for the purpose of contracting with any other state agency or reimbursing any other state agency for any expense.
