(c) Moneys in the guarantee trust fund may not be transferred to any other fund except for payment on any guarantee or enhancements or except as necessary to pay the expenses of operating the program of bond guarantee and enhancement authorized by this division, nor shall the bank utilize any moneys under the direction and control of the agency, including, but not limited to, moneys in the California Housing Loan Insurance Fund and the California Housing Finance Fund, other than moneys in the guarantee trust fund, to satisfy liabilities arising from contracts of guarantee authorized by this division.
