A. There is hereby established the "Firearms Laboratory Improvement Fund". The fund shall be a continuing fund for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. The fund shall not be subject to fiscal year limitations and shall consist of monies received from all state agencies which seize assets pursuant to the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994. Each agency's contribution shall be determined on a pro rata basis based on the percentage of forfeitures collected by the agency during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1993, in relation to the total monetary value of all forfeitures collected by all agencies contributing to the fund. The amount each agency is to contribute shall be determined by the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and the Cabinet Secretary for Safety and Security. Funds shall be transferred pursuant to a time schedule established by the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and the Cabinet Secretary for Safety and Security, but all such funds shall be transferred as available. The total amount of money to be paid into the fund shall not exceed One Hundred Forty-five Thousand Dollars ($145,000.00). Funds collected in the Drugfire Project Fund during the 1994 fiscal year shall be carried over into the Firearms Laboratory Improvement 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.
B. The Firearms Laboratory Improvement Fund shall be used to upgrade the firearms laboratory services of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation criminalistics laboratory. Expenditures from the fund shall be used only for training of personnel, matching funds for federal grants to obtain laboratory instrumentation, the purchase of laboratory instrumentation and equipment, and to upgrade existing laboratory instrumentation and equipment. If the Firearms Laboratory Improvement Fund is not expended by June 30, 1996, funds contributed by agencies shall be repaid to the agencies.
