1.7.

Additionally, the bill creates the Ryan Brown Addiction Prevention and Recovery Fund to be administered by the secretary to implement the provisions of the bill. The fund will consist of moneys made available for the purposes of the bill from any source, including, but not limited to, all grants, bequests or transfers from any source, any moneys that may be appropriated and designated for those purposes by the Legislature and all interest or other return earned from investment of the fund, gifts, and all other sums available for deposit to the special revenue account from any source, public or private.
