Section 25.69. Permanent endowment fund.

  There is established a separate nonlapsible trust fund designated as the permanent endowment fund, consisting of all of the proceeds from the sale of the state's right to receive payments under the Attorneys General Master Tobacco Settlement Agreement of November 23, 1998, and all investment earnings on the proceeds. Any revenues or proceeds that are derived from the repurchase by the state of the tobacco settlement revenues under s. 16.527 (3) (c) 1. are also deposited into the permanent endowment fund. Beginning in the 2009-10 fiscal year, there is transferred from the permanent endowment fund to the Medical Assistance trust fund $50,000,000 in each fiscal year and the remainder of moneys deposited into the permanent endowment fund in each fiscal year is transferred to the general fund.
