  340  the Chief Financial Officer may establish accounts within the
  341  trust fund at a level considered necessary for proper
  342  accountability. Once an account is established within a trust
  343  fund, the Chief Financial Officer may authorize payment from
  344  that account only upon determining that there is sufficient cash

  355  depository for client services funded by third-party payors.
  356         c. Administrative trust fund, for use as a depository for
  357  funds to be used for management activities that are departmental
  358  in nature and funded by indirect cost earnings and assessments
  359  against trust funds. Proprietary funds are excluded from the
  360  requirement of using an administrative trust fund.
  361         d. Grants and donations trust fund, for use as a depository
  362  for funds to be used for allowable grant or donor agreement
  363  activities funded by restricted contractual revenue from private

  377  trust funds listed in this subparagraph and cannot make such
  378  adjustment, the agency must recommend the creation of the
  379  necessary trust funds to the Legislature no later than the next
  380  scheduled review of the agency’s trust funds pursuant to s.
  381  215.3206.

  384  were received, subject always to the provisions of chapter 216
  385  relating to the appropriation of funds and to the applicable
  386  laws relating to the deposit or expenditure of moneys in the
  387  State Treasury.
  388         4.a. Notwithstanding any provision of law restricting the
  389  use of trust funds to specific purposes, unappropriated cash
  390  balances from selected trust funds may be authorized by the
  391  Legislature for transfer to the Budget Stabilization Fund and
  392  General Revenue Fund in the General Appropriations Act.

  394  by federal programs or mandates; trust funds established for
  395  bond covenants, indentures, or resolutions whose revenues are
