Funds credited to the trust fund, excluding the administrative fees paid to the Department of Revenue, may be used for, but are not limited to: (1) administration of this article including, but not limited to, personnel and board expenses; (2) development and promotion of the DARE Program in this State; (3) a reserve fund in an interest-bearing account with five percent of the funds received by the trust fund annually to be placed in this account. No withdrawals may be made from this account until the minimum balance has reached one hundred thousand dollars and then these funds may be used only in years in which donations do not meet the average normal operating cost incurred by the trust fund and funds are needed to meet expenses. Once the balance in the reserve funds reaches one hundred thousand dollars, excess fund earned by interest and yearly allocations may be used at the discretion of the board to cover operating costs and to provide additional funds.
