§ 16461 Agriculture Fund Expenditure Authority

• •Money in the Agriculture Fund can be used for admin and enforcement of Parts 1, 2 (Division 9), Division 10, and Division 11.
• •This power works even if other laws try to limit the money to a specific purpose.
• •It applies to any money that comes into the fund from any part of the code.

A state receives a grant for a farm program, and another law says the grant money can only be used to build new barns. Because of this law, the state can also use that money to enforce safety rules in Division 10 of the agriculture code.

Even though one rule tries to tie the money to a specific use (building barns), this law lets the money be spent on admin and enforcement of the listed divisions, so the state can spend some of it on safety inspections.
