Juvenile Training School donation fund. (a) The Commissioner of Children and Families after consultation with the Council on Children and Families is authorized to invest
the donation fund of the Connecticut Juvenile Training School held by said institution

(b) The Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, in consultation with the
Commissioner of Children and Families and the Commissioner of Public Works, shall
certify to the State Bond Commission that the resources derived from any sale authorized
by public act 99-26* in the donation fund of Long Lane School created by this section
are eligible for use for the costs incurred in the relocation of Long Lane School, including
environmental site remediation, and the development of the Connecticut Juvenile Training School and related training facilities and are in accordance with any deed restrictions
for the construction of the project and are not in violation of any tax or other covenants

*Note: Public act 99-26 is entitled "An Act Concerning the Connecticut Juvenile Training School". (See Reference
Table captioned "Public Acts of 1999" in Volume 16 which lists the sections amended, created or repealed by the act.)
**Note: Section 1 of public act 99-26 is special in nature and therefore has not been codified but remains in full force
and effect according to its terms.
History: 1969 act authorized commissioner of children and youth services to invest donation fund rather than the
directors of the school; Sec. 17-372 transferred to Sec. 17a-27 in 1991; P.A. 93-91 substituted commissioner and department
of children and families and council on children and families for commissioner and department of children and youth
services and council on children and youth services, effective July 1, 1993 (Revisor's note: The words "the department
of" in the phrase "commissioner of the department of children and youth services" were deleted editorially by the Revisors
to conform with customary statutory usage); P.A. 99-26 designated existing provisions as Subsec. (a) and amended said
Subsec. to provide that property transfers and conveyances are for the use and benefit of "Long Lane School or the
Connecticut Juvenile Training School" rather than "said school" and added Subsec. (b) re the use and transfer of resources
in the donation fund derived from the sale of state land, effective May 7, 1999, and further amended Subsec. (a) to replace
"the donation fund of Long Lane School" with "the donation fund of the Connecticut Juvenile Training School" and provide
that property transfers and conveyances are for the benefit of "the Connecticut Juvenile Training School" rather than "Long
Lane School or the Connecticut Juvenile Training School", effective upon the filing with the Governor and the General
Assembly of written certification by the Commissioner of Children and Families that the new Connecticut Juvenile Training
School is operational (Revisor's note: Said written certification was filed with the Senate and House Clerks on September
20, 2001, and with the Governor on September 21, 2001).
