(a) There is hereby established in the State Treasury the Tissue Bank License Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if, at the end of any fiscal year, the unencumbered balance in any account in the Tissue Bank License Fund exceeds 110 percent of the amount appropriated from the account for the following fiscal year, the state department shall reduce the application and annual renewal fees which are deposited into the account. The amount of the reduction shall be sufficient to reduce the unencumbered balance in the account at the end of the following fiscal year to less than 110 percent of the amount appropriated in that fiscal year. The adjustment of fees pursuant to this section shall not be subject to the requirements of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
(b) The state department shall receive and account for all money received pursuant to this chapter and shall deposit it with the Treasurer who shall keep the money in the Tissue Bank License Fund.
(c) Moneys deposited to the credit of the Tissue Bank License Fund which are appropriated in the Budget Act or any other appropriation act for support of or expenditure by the state department shall be used by the state department to administer this chapter.
(d) Upon the request of the State Director of Health Services, the Director of Finance may make a loan to the Tissue Bank License Fund from funds appropriated from the General Fund for that purpose. The amount of any such loan shall be approved by the Director of Finance and be repaid under those terms and conditions as prescribed by the Director of Finance, but shall, in any event, be repaid not later than June 30, 1995.
