710purpose of this law to exempt income from its force and effect
711when, by the operation of this law, federal matching funds or

745depository for funds to be used for allowable grant or donor

760trust funds listed in this subparagraph and cannot make such
761adjustment, the agency must recommend the creation of the
762necessary trust funds to the Legislature no later than the next

774in accordance with the law or trust agreement under which they
775were received, subject always to the provisions of chapter 216
776relating to the appropriation of funds and to the applicable
777laws relating to the deposit or expenditure of moneys in the
778State Treasury.
779     4.a.  Notwithstanding any provision of law restricting the
780use of trust funds to specific purposes, unappropriated cash
781balances from selected trust funds may be authorized by the
782Legislature for transfer to the Budget Stabilization Fund and
783Working Capital Fund in the General Appropriations Act.

831estuaries, lakes, rivers, wilderness areas, wildlife areas,
832wildlife habitat, or other environmentally sensitive natural
833areas or ecosystems; or preservation of significant
834archaeological or historical sites identified by the Secretary
835of State. In such event the property shall remain in the
836ownership of the board, to be controlled, managed, and disposed
837of in accordance with this chapter, and the Internal Improvement
838Forfeited Property Trust Fund shall be reimbursed from the Land
839Acquisition Trust Fund, or other appropriate fund designated by
840the board, for any funds expended from the Internal Improvement
841Forfeited Property Trust Fund pursuant to this subsection in
842regard to such property. Upon the recommendation of the Attorney
843General, the board may reimburse the investigative agency for
844its investigative expenses, costs, and attorneys' fees, and may
