and
(3) grants, gifts, and donations intended for deposit in the

or distributions are specifically authorized by another statute.
(d) The maximum amount of expenditures, transfers, or
distributions that may be made from the fund during the state
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2000, is equal to the amount
appropriated by P.L.273-1999, SECTION 8, for that state fiscal
year to the children's health insurance program from funds
accruing to the state from the tobacco settlement.
(e) The maximum amount of expenditures, transfers, or
distributions that may be made from the fund during the state
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2001, is determined under STEP
THREE of the following formula:
STEP ONE: Determine the sum of the money received or to
be received by the state under the master settlement
agreement during the calendar years beginning January 1,
1999, January 1, 2000, and January 1, 2001.
STEP TWO: Subtract from the STEP ONE sum the sum of

the children's health insurance program for the state fiscal
years beginning July 1, 1999, and July 1, 2000.
STEP THREE: Multiply the STEP TWO remainder by fifty
percent (50%).
(f) The maximum amount of expenditures, transfers, or
distributions that may be made from the fund during the state
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2002, and each state fiscal year after
that is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the money received or to be
received by the state under the master settlement agreement
during the calendar year in which the state fiscal year begins.
(g) The following amounts shall be retained in the fund and may
not be expended, transferred, or otherwise distributed from the
fund:
(1) All of the money that is received by the state under the
master settlement agreement and remains in the fund after
the expenditures, transfers, or distributions permitted under
subsections (c) through (f).
(2) All interest that accrues from investment of money in the
fund, unless specifically appropriated by the general
assembly.
(h) The fund shall be administered by the budget agency. The
treasurer of state shall invest the money in the fund not currently
needed to meet the obligations of the fund in the same manner as other
public money is invested under IC 5-13. Interest that accrues from
these investments shall be deposited in the fund. Money in the fund at
the end of the state fiscal year does not revert to the state general fund.
(i) The state general fund is not liable for payment of a shortfall
in expenditures, transfers, or distributions from the Indiana
tobacco master settlement agreement fund or any other fund due
to a delay, reduction, or cancellation of payments scheduled to be
received by the state under the master settlement agreement. If
