Sec. 27-138. Custody and administration of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
Fund. Repayment of amounts appropriated from the General Fund. (a) The Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund shall remain as established and shall be in the custody
of the Treasurer as trustee of the fund and shall be administered by the treasurer of the
American Legion. The Treasurer shall invest the fund and shall reinvest as much of the
fund as is not required for current disbursement in accordance with the provisions of
part I of chapter 32. The interest accumulations of the fund so held in trust or so much
thereof as is found necessary to carry out the purposes hereinafter stated shall be paid,
upon the order of the Comptroller, upon such statements as the Comptroller may require,
to the treasurer of the American Legion, who shall disburse the same, and the balance
of said accumulations, except for a reserve of one hundred thousand dollars held in
custody of the trustee for contingent purposes, shall at the end of each fiscal year be
added to the principal of the fund. If the interest accumulations of the fund, together
with available appropriations, if any, of other funds, are insufficient to carry out the
purposes of this part, the Finance Advisory Committee, upon recommendation of the
Governor, shall make appropriations therefor from the state General Fund, limited, however, for any fiscal year to amounts which, together with said interest accumulations
for such year, shall not exceed the annual interest on thirty-five million dollars at the
average rate of the investment yield earned during the preceding fiscal year on the
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund, provided, in case of disaster constituting an emergency, as declared by the Governor, the Finance Advisory Committee may make additional appropriations to the fund without regard to such limitation. Any amounts appropriated from the General Fund under the provisions of this subsection on or after July
1, 2002, and disbursed by the treasurer of the American Legion to carry out the purposes
of this part, shall be repaid to said fund in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(b) of this section. Payments to the treasurer of the American Legion shall be made at
such definite and stated periods as are necessary to meet the convenience of the American
Legion and said trustee; but each payment shall be made upon the order of the treasurer
of the American Legion, approved by at least two of its executive officers or of a special
committee thereof thereunto specially authorized. No part of the interest accumulation
of the fund shall be expended for the purpose of maintaining the American Legion.
(b) If in any fiscal year the interest earned on the principal of the Soldiers, Sailors
and Marines Fund exceeds the expenditure level of said fund and there remains an
outstanding balance in the cumulative amount to be repaid to the General Fund by the
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund under the provisions of subsection (a) of this section,
the Comptroller may transfer any interest earned in excess of expenditure to the General
Fund. Except as provided in this section, the Comptroller may not transfer interest earned
on the principal of the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund to the General Fund.
