Section § 401
This law states that if a board or commission within the Department of Consumer Affairs has extra money that isn't needed for current or future expenses, the Director of Consumer Affairs can have it moved to a main fund used by the department for various purposes. However, this can only happen if it doesn't disrupt the board or commission's operations, and there must always be at least $25,000 left in their account.
When there is money in the fund of any board or commission comprising the Department of Consumer Affairs or subject to its jurisdiction, which money, the Director of Consumer Affairs finds, is not required to meet any demand which has accrued or may accrue against the fund, the Controller, upon executive order of the Director of Finance, shall transfer the sum designated by the Director of Consumer Affairs from the fund of the board or commission to the Consumer Affairs Fund to be used for the purposes of this chapter.
No money may be taken from the fund of any board or commission when it will interfere with the administrative duties imposed upon the board or commission. The unencumbered, unexpended money in the fund of any board in division number one of the department shall never be reduced to less than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) by any transfer ordered by the Director of Consumer Affairs under this chapter.
