A. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving fund for the State Department of Health, to be designated the “Oklahoma Organ Donor Education and Awareness Program Revolving Fund”. The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies received by the State Department of Health from:
1. Administration of the Oklahoma Organ Donor Education and Awareness Program Act;1
3. To assist in the publication of information pamphlets or booklets by the State Department of Health and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction regarding organ donation and donations to the Oklahoma Organ Donor Education and Awareness Program Revolving Fund. The State Department of Health shall distribute such informational pamphlets or booklets to Service Oklahoma for distribution to applicants for original, renewal, or replacement driver licenses and identification cards when making a voluntary contribution pursuant to Section 2220.5 of this title and to the Oklahoma Tax Commission for distribution to individuals when making a voluntary contribution pursuant to the state income tax check off provided for in Section 2220.4 of this title;
6. Encouraging the incorporation of organ donor information into the medical and nursing school curriculums of the state's medical and nursing schools. If funds are provided to a university for this educational purpose, the university shall annually evaluate the extent to which the curriculum has affected the attitudes of its students and graduates with regard to organ donation and shall forward the evaluation results to the State Department of Health; and
7. A reserve fund in an interest-bearing account with five percent (5%) of the monies received by the fund annually to be placed in this account. No funds may be expended from the reserve fund account until the required balance has reached One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and then these funds may only be used in years when donations do not meet the average normal operating fee incurred by the fund, and funds are expended to meet expenses. Once the balance in the reserve fund account reaches One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), excess funds earned by interest, and yearly allocations may be used at the discretion of the State Department of Health to cover operating costs and to provide additional funds.
