16480. All state money held by the State Treasurer in treasury
trust accounts, and all money in the State Treasury, except money in
the Unemployment Compensation Disability Fund during any period when
an election under Section 16470 is not in effect, is appropriated for
the purpose of investment and deposit as provided in this article.
In addition, nonstate money held by the Treasurer in the Local Agency
Investment Fund may be included in those investments and deposits as

amount of money available under this article for investment in
securities authorized by Article 1 of this chapter, or in deposits in
banks and savings and loan associations, or in loans to the General
Fund and the type of investment or deposit.
The Pooled Money Investment Board may increase the amount of
surplus money normally available for time deposits with the express
purpose of placing this money in banks that are members of a
California job development corporation and who have made loans to
such a corporation or to corporation-approved borrowers.
For the purpose of this article, a written determination signed by
a majority of the members of the Pooled Money Investment Board shall
be deemed to be the determination of the board.

and savings and loan associations in such a way as to realize the
maximum return consistent with safe and prudent treasury management.
