The FISCal Internal Services Fund continues in existence in the State Treasury to pay the costs of development, implementation, operations, and maintenance of the FISCal System. All assets, liabilities, and surplus shall remain in the FISCal Internal Services Fund. The Department of Finance shall make the final determination of the budgetary and accounting transactions that are required to carry out this section. Accounts and subaccounts may be created within the FISCal Internal Services Fund as needed. Moneys in the FISCal Internal Services Fund, and its accounts and subaccounts, are available for cashflow borrowing by the General Fund pursuant to Section 16310.

(a) The FISCal Consolidated Payment Fund is created in the State Treasury for the purpose of allowing the Controller to issue consolidated payments, excluding payroll, to any payee, of costs that are chargeable to appropriations made from other funds in the State Treasury, thereby allowing for efficient processing through the FISCal system of payments.
  (b) The amounts to be disbursed from the FISCal Consolidated Payment Fund shall be transferred by the Controller, from the funds and appropriations otherwise chargeable therewith, to the FISCal Consolidated Payment Fund prior to the time of disbursement. All amounts in the FISCal Consolidated Payment Fund that are derived from abatements, refunds of amounts disbursed, returned warrants, or the cancellation of warrants issued from the FISCal Consolidated Payment Fund shall be returned by the Controller to the funds and appropriations from which the amounts were originally transferred.

(a) The office, subject to the approval of the Department of Finance, shall establish and assess fees and a payment schedule for state departments and agencies to use or interface with the FISCal system. The fees shall recover the costs of the FISCal system, including, but not limited to, the ongoing maintenance and operation costs of the FISCal system and shall be deposited in the FISCal Internal Services Fund. The fees shall be based on an interim cost allocation plan until statistically valid usage data is available.
  (b) The office shall submit the cost allocation plan, including the methodology used to develop fees, to the Department of Finance during the state's annual budget development processes for review and approval. The office shall submit any proposed changes in fees or methodology to the Department of Finance concurrently with budget requests.
