Controller, and the Department of Finance in carrying out this
article, shall apportion, quarterly, to the following funds in the
Treasury, interest earned or increment derived from the investments
authorized by this article for the three calendar months ending with
those dates:
(a) The General Fund.
(b) Each fund into which are deposited or which contains moneys

manufacture, sale, distribution, or use of motor vehicle fuel, for
use in motor vehicles upon the public streets and highways.
(c) Each fund into which are deposited or which contains moneys
collected from motor vehicle and other vehicle registration license
fees or from any other tax or license fee now or hereafter imposed by
the state upon vehicles, motor vehicles or the operation thereof,
except those taxes and license fees that, by the provisions of
Section 7 of Article XIX of the California Constitution, are exempted
from the provisions of Section 2 of Article XIX.
(d) Each fund into which are deposited or that contains moneys
collected under any law of this state relating to the protection,
conservation, propagation, or preservation of fish, game, mollusks,
or crustaceans, and fines imposed by any court for the violation of
any of those laws.
(e) Each fund into which are deposited or that contains moneys
available for construction, repair, replacement, maintenance or
operation of public works of the state, including, but not limited
to, the facilities of the State Water Resources Development System,
as defined in Section 12931 of the Water Code, toll facilities
financed, built, or acquired pursuant to the California Toll Bridge
Authority Act (Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 30000) of Division
17 of the Streets and Highways Code), or moneys available for the
payment of principal or interest on bonds issued to provide for the
construction of those facilities.
(f) Every other fund in respect to which the Director of Finance
on the advice of the Attorney General determines that the operation
of the California Constitution or the United States Constitution
prohibits the expenditure of interest received under this article and
allocated on the basis of amounts in that fund for General Fund
purposes.
(g) Each fund not included within subdivisions (a) to (f),
inclusive.
The apportionments shall be made by the Controller in the
following manner:
(1) All money not apportioned to the funds referred to in
subdivisions (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) shall be apportioned to
the General Fund.
(2) There shall be apportioned to each of the funds referred to in
subdivisions (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g), an amount directly
proportionate to the respective amounts transferred from those funds
to the Surplus Money Investment Fund and the length of time the
amounts remained therein.
(3) Interest accrued or paid to the Pooled Money Investment
Account from the proceeds of tax-exempt obligations on loans made
pursuant to Section 16312 or 16313, to the extent thereof, shall be
deemed apportioned to the State Highway Account or any other accounts
that may be designated by the Controller pursuant to Section 16654,
but only to the extent of its proportionate earnings as determined
under paragraph (2). This paragraph shall neither increase nor
decrease the amount of earnings apportioned to any fund or account in
accordance with this section. These moneys shall be deemed expended,
or applied to reimburse expenditures previously paid, first
following the allocation of these interest earnings of the Surplus
Money Investment Fund to the State Highway Account or any other
accounts that may be designated by the Controller pursuant to Section
16654. It is the intent of the Legislature that this paragraph shall
authorize the Treasurer and the Controller to monitor the
expenditure of the proceeds of tax-exempt obligations in order to
comply with federal tax laws and shall neither increase nor decrease
the amount of bonds, notes, or other obligations to be issued by the
state or any subdivision thereof, nor shall this paragraph be
interpreted to indicate that the allocation is contrary to any bond
act.
