SECTION 16419

16419. The Disaster Relief Fund is hereby established.
Notwithstanding Section 13340, the fund is continuously appropriated
without regard to fiscal years for purposes of funding disbursements
made for response to and recovery from the earthquake, aftershocks,
and any other related casualty. Moneys in the Disaster Relief Fund
may, upon the direction of the Director of Finance, be transferred to
the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties to replenish that fund
for disbursements regarding the earthquake, aftershocks, and any
other related casualty. Disbursements from the Disaster Relief Fund
and from the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties incurred in
responding to and recovering from the earthquake, aftershocks, and
any other related casualty shall not be expended to supplant federal
funds otherwise available in the absence of state financial relief.
