The department of personnel shall have the authority to accept any bequests, gifts, and grants of any kind from any private source or from any governmental unit to be used for the renovation of the Colorado state capitol building. For the purposes of this section, "renovation" means the repair, remodeling, restoration, and preservation of the Colorado state capitol building and any fixtures or improvements associated therewith. The use of such bequests, gifts, and grants shall be subject to the conditions upon which the bequests, gifts, and grants are made; except that no bequest, gift, or grant shall be accepted if the conditions attached thereto require the use or expenditure thereof in a manner contrary to law or require expenditures from the general fund or any other fund in the state treasury unless such expenditures are approved by the general assembly. Such bequests, gifts, and grants, together with any other moneys appropriated or transferred by the general assembly, shall be credited to the Colorado state capitol building renovation fund, which fund is hereby created in the state treasury. The moneys in said fund shall be continuously appropriated to the department for expenditures recommended by the state capitol building advisory committee, created in section 24-82-108, and approved by the capital development committee and the joint budget committee for the purpose of renovating the Colorado state capitol building. All interest derived from the deposit and investment of moneys in the fund shall be credited to the fund. All unencumbered moneys in the fund at the end of any fiscal year not appropriated shall remain in the fund and shall not be transferred or revert to the general fund of the state.
