16310
. (a) When the General Fund in the Treasury is or will be
exhausted, the Controller shall notify the Governor and the Pooled
Money Investment Board. The Governor may order the Controller to
direct the transfer of all or any part of the moneys not needed in
other funds or accounts to the General Fund from those funds or
accounts, as determined by the Pooled Money Investment Board,
including the Surplus Money Investment Fund or the Pooled Money
Investment Account. All moneys so transferred shall be returned to
the funds or accounts from which they were transferred as soon as
there are sufficient moneys in the General Fund to return them. No
interest shall be charged or paid on any transfer authorized by this
section, exclusive of the Pooled Money Investment Account, except as
provided in this section. This section does not authorize any
transfer that will interfere with the object for which a special fund
was created or any transfer from the Central Valley Water Project
Construction Fund, the Central Valley Water Project Revenue Fund, or
the California Water Resources Development Bond Fund.
(b) (1) Interest shall be paid on all moneys transferred to the
General Fund from the following funds:

Exposition and State Fair pursuant to this section.
(2) With respect to all other funds, and unless otherwise
specified, if the total moneys transferred to the General Fund in any
fiscal year from any special fund pursuant to this section exceed an
amount equal to 10 percent of the total additions to surplus
available for appropriation as shown in the statement of operations
of a prior fiscal year as set forth in the most recent published
annual report of the Controller, interest shall be paid on the
excess. Interest payable under this section shall be computed at a
rate determined by the Pooled Money Investment Board to be the
current earning rate of the fund from which transferred.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except as
described in subdivision (d), all moneys in the State Treasury may be
loaned for the purposes described in subdivision (a).
(d) Subdivision (c) shall not apply to any of the following:

Manual as bond funds or retirement funds.
(3) All or part of the moneys not needed in other funds or
accounts for purposes of subdivision (a) where the Controller is
prohibited by the California Constitution, bond indenture, or case
law from transferring all or any part of those moneys.
