Sec. 6z-65.5. SBE Federal Department of Education Fund. The SBE Federal Department of Education Fund is created as a federal trust fund in the State treasury. This fund is established to receive funds from the federal Department of Education, including non-indirect cost administrative funds recovered from federal programs, for the specific purposes established by the terms and conditions of federal awards. Moneys in the SBE Federal Department of Education Fund shall be used, subject to appropriation by the General Assembly, for grants and contracts to local education agencies, colleges and universities, and other State agencies and for administrative expenses of the State Board of Education. However, non-appropriated spending is allowed for the refund of unexpended grant moneys to the federal government. The SBE Federal Department of Education Fund shall serve as the successor fund to the National Center for Education Statistics Fund, and any balance remaining in the National Center for Education Statistics Fund on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly must be transferred to the SBE Federal Department of Education Fund by the State Treasurer. Any future deposits that would otherwise be made into the National Center for Education Statistics Fund must instead be made into the SBE Federal Department of Education Fund.
On or after July 1, 2007, the State Board of Education shall notify the State Comptroller of the amount of indirect federal funds in the SBE Federal Department of Education Fund to be transferred to the State Board of Education Special Purpose Trust Fund. The State Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer this amount to the State Board of Education Special Purpose Trust Fund as soon as practical thereafter.
