§ 12302 Federal Education Funds Use

This law says that money the state gets from certain federal programs must be spent by the agency running the program to do what the federal law requires, and the money is paid out by the state Treasurer using checks from the Controller after a claim is filed by the education officials.

Key Takeaways

  • •Money from the listed sections can only be used for the program’s purpose set by federal law.
  • •The Treasurer pays the money, but only after the Controller issues a warrant based on a claim from the education officials.
  • •These funds are not subject to the restrictions of Section 925.6 of the Government Code.

Example

A community college receives a federal grant for a new science lab. The college’s Board of Governors files a claim for the money, the Controller writes a warrant, and the Treasurer pays the college.

The grant money must be used for the lab as the federal law says, and the payment follows the steps the statute sets: claim by the Board, warrant by the Controller, and payment by the Treasurer.
