What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Each distinct thing the section does: set up the fund, set out its seven purposes, appropriate the money, and set who may be paid and from when.

The seven purposes are carried in a summary rather than recorded one by one.

The section appropriates money directly and amends no older statute, so nothing recorded here depends on a document that is not indexed.
