Said revolving fund shall be a continuing fund not subject to fiscal year limitations and shall be under the control and management of the Oklahoma Historical Society and the disbursements therefrom shall be approved by the Society. Monies deposited in said revolving fund may be expended for the purpose of maintaining and operating the Oklahoma Historical Society functions and for operation of historic sites. Monies deposited in said revolving fund from entry fees collected at each participating museum or site pursuant to the entry fee pilot project shall be expended only on the museum and historic site from which the fee is collected and for the purposes outlined in Section 1.21 of this title. Purchases of merchandise for sale to visitors shall be exempt from The Oklahoma Central Purchasing Act but all other expenditures shall be made pursuant to the laws of the state and the statutes relating to the Oklahoma Historical Society. Warrants for expenditures from this fund shall be drawn by the State Treasurer based on claims signed by the approving officer of the Society and approved for payment by the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.
