(1) (a) For the 2019-20 and 2020-21 state fiscal years, the general assembly shall annually appropriate two million five hundred thousand dollars per fiscal year from the marijuana tax cash fund created in section 39-28.8-501 to the board of regents of the university of Colorado, for allocation to the center to implement and administer the MAT expansion pilot program. The center may use a portion of the money annually appropriated for the pilot program to pay the direct and indirect costs that the center incurs to administer the pilot program, as well as to provide consulting services to and oversight of grant recipients, for data collection and analysis, evaluation of the pilot program, and program reporting.
(b) If any unexpended or uncommitted money appropriated for a fiscal year remains at the end of that fiscal year, the center may expend the money in accordance with this section in the succeeding fiscal year. Any unexpended or uncommitted money remaining at the end of the 2020-21 fiscal year reverts to the marijuana tax cash fund.
(2) The center may accept and expend any gifts, grants, or donations it receives to implement or administer the pilot program.
