        181.13  ADMINISTRATION OF MONEYS ORIGINATING FROM
      STATE ASSESSMENT -- APPROPRIATION.
         1.  All state assessments imposed under this chapter shall be paid
      to and collected by the council and deposited with the treasurer of
      state in a separate cattle promotion fund which shall be created by
      the treasurer of state.  The department of administrative services
      shall transfer moneys from the fund to the council for deposit into
      an account established by the council in a qualified financial
      institution.  The department shall transfer the moneys as provided in
      a resolution adopted by the council.  However, the department is only
      required to transfer moneys once during each day and only during
      hours when the offices of the state are open.  From the moneys
      collected, deposited, and transferred to the council, in accordance
      with the provisions of this chapter, the council shall first pay the
      costs of referendums held pursuant to this chapter, the costs of
      collection of such state assessments, and the expenses of its agents.
      At least ten percent of the remaining moneys shall be remitted to the
      association in proportions determined by the council, for use in a
      manner not inconsistent with section 181.7.  The remaining moneys,
      with approval of a majority of the council, shall be expended as the
      council finds necessary to carry out the provisions and purposes of
      this chapter.  However, in no event shall the total expenses exceed
      the total amount transferred from the fund for use by the council.
         2.  All moneys deposited in the cattle promotion fund and
      transferred to the council pursuant to this section are appropriated
      and shall be used for the administration of this chapter and for the
      payment of claims based upon obligations incurred in the performance
      of activities and functions set forth in this chapter.
         3.  If the state assessment is suspended as provided in section
      181.7A or a continuance referendum fails to pass as provided in
      section 181.19A, moneys remaining in the cattle promotion fund and
      transferred to the council shall continue to be transferred and
      expended in accordance with the provisions of this chapter until
      exhausted.
