There is established a sexual assault victims account which shall be a separate, nonlapsing account within the General Fund. The account shall contain the moneys authorized pursuant to section 54-143c, and any other moneys required by law to be deposited in the account, and shall be held in trust separate and apart from all other moneys, funds and accounts. Any balance remaining in the account at the end of any fiscal year shall be carried forward in the account for the fiscal year next succeeding. Investment earnings credited to the account shall become part of the account. Amounts in the account shall be expended only pursuant to appropriations by the General Assembly, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, and each fiscal year thereafter, for the purpose of providing funds to the Department of Public Health for sexual assault crisis services furnished to victims of sexual assault in this state, provided such amounts so expended shall not supplant any state or federal funds otherwise available for such services.
