(a) The Board of Trustees of The University of Connecticut is authorized to establish and administer a fund, to be known as the Hospital Fund, for the operation of hospital facilities, clinics and programs, including, on and after July 1, 1995, the facilities, clinics and programs of the Uncas-on-Thames Hospital. Revenues received from and in connection with such operations, including moneys received from federal, state, municipal and private sources, shall be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of said fund. The resources of the fund are to be used to pay the direct expenses of operation and maintenance of such facilities and programs and to purchase equipment or otherwise improve facilities. Such payments shall be made by the State Treasurer on warrants issued by the State Comptroller, upon the order of authorized officers of the university. To provide working capital for the fund, moneys may be transferred from The University of Connecticut Health Center Operating Fund established under the provisions of section 10a-105, and not more than five hundred thousand dollars may be transferred from the resources of the General Fund upon the recommendation of the Governor and the approval of the Finance Advisory Committee.

      (b) For the period beginning on July 1, 1989, and ending on June 30, 1995, the Board of Trustees of The University of Connecticut is authorized to establish and administer a fund, to be known as the Uncas-on-Thames Hospital Fund, for the operation of the Uncas-on-Thames Hospital facilities, clinics and programs. All balance sheet accounts, including assets, liabilities and fund balance, of the Uncas-on-Thames Hospital Fund on June 30, 1995, shall be transferred to the Hospital Fund on July 1, 1995, for the operation of the Uncas-on-Thames Hospital facilities, clinics and programs. Revenues received on and after July 1, 1995, from and in connection with such balance sheet accounts, including moneys received from federal, state, municipal and private sources, shall be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the Hospital Fund for purposes of maintaining operations at the Uncas-on-Thames campus. The sum of four hundred thousand dollars of the Uncas-on-Thames Hospital Fund balance shall be reserved within the Hospital Fund for renovations in conjunction with the possible replacement of equipment at the Uncas-on-Thames Phelps Clinic. If a sum of less than four hundred thousand dollars is required for such renovations, the difference between the amount required for such renovations and four hundred thousand dollars shall be transferred to the General Fund at such time as such renovations have been completed, or a determination has been made that no renovations are necessary.

      (c) For the period beginning on July 1, 1989, and ending on June 30, 1995, any revenue received by the state which is attributable to services provided by Uncas-on-Thames Hospital on and after July 1, 1989, and prior to July 1, 1995, shall be credited to the Uncas-on-Thames Hospital Fund.
