Program of restitution through work: Restitution through work fund

1. To finance a program of restitution through work, a director of juvenile services may establish, with the county treasurer as custodian, a special fund to be known as the restitution through work fund. 2. A director of juvenile services may apply for and accept grants, gifts, donations, bequests or devises which the director shall deposit with the county treasurer for credit to the fund. 3. The fund must be a separate and continuing fund, and no money in the fund reverts to the general fund of the county at any time. The interest earned on the money in the fund, after deducting any applicable charges, must be credited to the fund. 4. A director of juvenile services shall: (a) Expend money from the fund only to finance a program of restitution through work; and (b) If the source of the money is a grant, gift, donation, bequest or devise, expend the money, to the extent permitted by law, in accordance with the terms of the grant, gift, donation, bequest or devise. 5. A director of juvenile services must authorize any expenditure from the fund before it is made.
