26-4-11. Acceptance of funds from public and private sources--Deposit and credit to child care fund in treasury. The Department of Social Services is authorized to accept, receive, and administer funds obtained from parents, relatives, county commissioners, Bureau of Indian Affairs, or other sources for the purpose of providing foster or other care for children, except that state appropriations from the general fund for foster care shall not be used for out-of-state placement of emotionally disturbed or otherwise handicapped children who are not otherwise dependent, neglected, or delinquent, and such funds are made available to the department for expenditure only in accordance with the specific purposes for which they are obtained. Upon receipt of such funds, the Department of Social Services shall immediately cause the same to be deposited with the state treasurer. The state treasurer is authorized to receive and credit such funds to a child care fund to be established for this purpose. Funds credited to the child care fund shall not at any time revert to the general fund of the state.
