There is created in the State Treasury a fund to be known as the Consumer and Business Services Fund, separate and distinct from the General Fund. All moneys collected or received by the Department of Consumer and Business Services, except moneys required to be paid into the Workers’ Benefit Fund, shall be paid into the State Treasury and credited to the Consumer and Business Services Fund. Moneys in the fund may be invested in the same manner as other state moneys and any interest earned shall be credited to the fund.(2)
The department shall keep a record of all moneys deposited in the Consumer and Business Services Fund that shall indicate, by separate account, the source from which the moneys are derived, the interest earned and the activity or program against which any withdrawal is charged.(3)
If moneys credited to any one account are withdrawn, transferred or otherwise used for purposes other than the program or activity for which the account is established, interest shall accrue on the amount withdrawn from the date of withdrawal and until such funds are restored.(4)
Moneys in the fund are continuously appropriated to the department for its administrative expenses and for its expenses in carrying out its functions and duties under any provision of law.(5)
Except as provided in ORS 705.165 (Disposition of moneys accruing from department administration and enforcement of certain laws), it is the intention of the Legislative Assembly that the performance of the various duties and functions of the department in connection with each of its programs shall be financed by the fees, assessments and charges established and collected in connection with those programs.(6)
There is created by transfer from the Consumer and Business Services Fund a revolving administrative account in the amount of $100,000. The revolving account shall be disbursed by checks or orders issued by the director or the Workers’ Compensation Board and drawn upon the State Treasury, to carry on the duties and functions of the department and the board. All checks or orders paid from the revolving account shall be reimbursed by a warrant drawn in favor of the department charged against the Consumer and Business Services Fund and recorded in the appropriate subsidiary record.(7)
For the purposes of ORS chapter 656, the revolving account created pursuant to subsection (6) of this section may also be used to:(a)
Pay compensation benefits; and(b)
Refund to employers amounts paid to the Consumer and Business Services Fund in excess of the amounts required by ORS chapter 656.(8)
