State Lottery Fund
(a)
A special fund to be known as the “State Lottery Fund” is created within the State Treasury that is continuously appropriated for carrying out the purposes of this chapter. The fund shall receive all proceeds from the sales of lottery tickets or shares, the temporary line of credit for initial startup costs, and all other moneys credited to the Lottery from any other source. The Treasurer shall designate a depository to receive lottery proceeds for transmission to the State Treasury and for deposit in the State Lottery Fund.
(b)
Except as provided by this chapter, moneys in the General Fund or any other state fund shall not be transferred to the State Lottery Fund or otherwise used to support the California State Lottery or the Lottery Commission, or to pay the debts, obligations, or encumbrances of the State Lottery Fund or the Commission.
(c)
Notwithstanding any other law, the Controller may use the moneys in the State Lottery Fund for loans to the General Fund as provided in Sections 16310 and 16381. Interest shall be paid on all moneys loaned to the General Fund from the State Lottery Fund. Interest payable shall be computed at a rate of 110 percent of the Pooled Money Investment Account rate, with the interest accruing on the date the loan is made from the State Lottery Fund to the General Fund. This subdivision does not authorize any transfer that will interfere with the carrying out of the object for which the State Lottery Fund was created.
