AN ACT

To repeal section 161.410, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the Missouri commission for the deaf and hard of hearing fund.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

            Section A. Section 161.410, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 161.410, to read as follows:

            161.410. 1. The executive director of the Missouri commission for the deaf and hard of hearing shall administer a revolving fund to be known as the "Missouri Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Fund" which is hereby established in the state treasury. The fund shall consist of appropriations made by the general assembly, any gifts, contributions, grants, or bequests received from federal, private, or other sources, and moneys transferred or paid to the commission in return for goods and services provided by the commission to any governmental entity or the public. The state treasurer shall approve all disbursements from the fund for the purchase of goods or services at the request of the executive director of the commission.

            2. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 33.080, RSMo, to the contrary, moneys in the fund shall not revert to the credit of the general revenue fund[, unless and then only to the extent to which the unencumbered balance at the end of any fiscal year exceeds one-half of the total amount appropriated, paid, or transferred to the fund during such fiscal year].
