Beginning July 1, 1999 and ending June 30, 2003, on the first day of each State fiscal year, or as soon thereafter as may be practical, the State Comptroller shall transfer the sum of $500,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Grape and Wine Resources Fund, which is hereby continued as a special fund in the State Treasury. By January 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall review the activities of the Council and report to the General Assembly and the Governor its recommendation of whether or not the funding under this Section should be continued.
The Grape and Wine Resources Fund shall be administered by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, which shall serve as the lead administrative agency for allocation and auditing of funds as well as monitoring program implementation. The Department shall make an annual grant of moneys from the Fund to the Council, which shall be used to pay for the Council's operations and expenses. These moneys shall be used by the Council to achieve the Council's objectives and shall not be used for any political or legislative purpose. Money remaining in the Fund at the end of the fiscal year shall remain in the Fund for use during the following year and shall not be transferred to any other State fund.
