WATER CODE

SECTION 12878.41-12878.45

12878.41. All money deposited in the Water Resources Revolving Fund
pursuant to Section 12878.39, and all money transferred to the Water
Resources Revolving Fund from the Flood Control Project Maintenance
Revolving Fund, or appropriated for flood project maintenance under
this chapter, is appropriated for the purposes of this chapter
without regard to fiscal years and shall not be subject to the
provisions of Section 16304 of the Government Code.

12878.42. The department shall keep a separate account for each
maintenance area as to money deposited under Section 12878.39 and
expenditures under this chapter in such area. The money in such
accounts shall be available to the department for expenditure for the
operation and maintenance of the unit for which the maintenance area
was formed and from which the money in the account was derived.

12878.43. The department shall keep a separate account for money
appropriated for the purposes of this chapter from the General Fund.
The money in this account shall be available to the department for
expenditure for the maintenance and operation of any unit for which a
maintenance area is formed to the extent there is no money, or
insufficient money, available under Section 12878.42. All money so
expended shall be repaid from any money subsequently deposited by the
benefited maintenance area.

12878.44. Money expended upon any unit during any fiscal year shall
not exceed by more than 20 percent the amount of the estimate for
that unit for that fiscal year, unless the department determines that
expenditures that exceed that amount are necessary for emergency
repairs or flood fighting. If in any fiscal year more money will be
expended upon a unit than is, or will be, available from assessments
or collections thereon derived from the maintenance area, the
estimated amount of the deficit shall be added to the estimate for
that unit for the following fiscal years, and if less money will be
expended than collected, the estimated amount of that excess shall be
deducted from the estimate.

12878.45. The State Controller shall have no responsibility for
verifying the correctness of the claim as to the account upon which
it is drawn, and the State Controller shall keep no separate accounts
for the maintenance areas under this chapter within the Water
Resources Revolving Fund.
