When the Legislature passes any law directing any officer, board, or commission to do anything which might legitimately come under his or its jurisdiction and control which requires the expenditure of money and which Legislature fails to provide the necessary funds therefor by appropriation or otherwise, it shall not be competent for such officer, board, or commission to use any other funds under his or its control appropriated for a specific purpose by which such fund shall be depleted, nor shall any funds appropriated by the Legislature for a specific purpose be used for any purpose other than that for which it was appropriated. A violation of this section is a Class 2 misdemeanor.
