(1) The tort claims account in the state general fund cannot be regarded as a revolving fund under present law; therefore, tort judgments against the state can only be paid to the extent that appropriations have been made by the legislature for their payment from this account. (2) After the $400,000 originally allocated from the governor's emergency appropriation to the tort claims account for the current biennium by the 1967 legislature is expended, the governor may not allocate any additional funds from his emergency appropriation to this account. (3) The governor may not allocate funds to the tort claims account from his contingency fund, under the terms of this appropriation for the current biennium, even upon approval of 60% of the legislative budget committee and the legislative council.

(1) A transfer of funds from the University permanent fund to the "University of Washington bond retirement fund" or to the University building account under authority of § 4, chapter 135, Laws of 1965, Ex. Sess., is not inconsistent with so much of § 1, chapter 135, Laws of 1965, Ex. Sess., as requires that certain designated proceeds "shall be deposited to the credit of the state university permanent fund, shall be retained therein and shall not be transferred to any other account or fund," because § 1 applies only to proceeds received after the effective date of chapter 135, Laws of 1965, Ex. Sess. (2) Same : The provisions of § 4, chapter 135, Laws of 1965, Ex. Sess., requiring the state finance committee to liquidate permanent university fund investments under direction of the board of regents of the University as a step in accomplishing a requested transfer of funds from the university permanent fund to the university bond retirement fund or university building account does not conflict with Article XVI, § 1, or Article IX, § 5, of the Washington State Constitution. (3) Same : The commingling of the funds subject to transfer with those which may not be transferred because of restrictions in the Enabling Act does not prevent the transfer authorized by § 4, chapter 135, Laws of 1965, Ex. Sess., when it is possible to trace the separate fund sources and determine the total amount attributable to each source.
