in settlement of the State's claims under Chapter 12 of Title 6, Chapter 71 of Title 10, and Chapter 15 of Title 11, shall be credited by the
State Treasurer to a fund to be known as the "False Claims and Affirmative Litigation Fund."
(b) Money in the False Claims and Affirmative Litigation Fund shall be used for the payment of expenses incurred by the Department of
Justice in connection with activities under Chapter 12 of Title 6, Chapter 71 of Title 10, § 1505 of Title 11 or, if approved by the Director
of the Office of Management and Budget and the Controller General, for other Department of Justice expenses resulting from General

claims and other affirmative civil actions brought on behalf of the State, and the maintaining of electronic discovery resources for the
Department of Justice or other state agencies. The State Solicitor shall have the authority, under the direction of the Attorney General, to
maintain and supervise the deposits and expenditures into and out of the False Claims and Affirmative Litigation Fund.
(d) When the State or agencies thereof, public bodies or subdivisions of the State, or qui tam plaintiffs are due a portion of the funds in
the False Claims and Affirmative Litigation Fund as a result of a right to restitution, a right to reimbursement, or the operation of § 1205
of Title 6, the Attorney General is authorized to approve release of such funds to the appropriate fund, entity, or recipient.
