Deposit of moneys — exception to guardians.
Any funds coming into the possession of the superintendent or any employee of a resource center or special unit belonging to any patient in that institution shall be deposited in the name of the patient in the patients’ personal deposit fund, except that if a guardian of the property has been appointed for the person, the guardian shall have the right to demand and receive such funds. Funds belonging to a patient deposited in the patients’ personal deposit fund may be used for the purchase of personal incidentals, desires, and comforts for the patient.
Money paid to a resource center from any source other than state appropriated funds and intended to pay all or a portion of the cost of care of a patient, which cost would otherwise be paid from state or county funds or from the patient’s own funds, shall not be deemed money belonging to the patient for the purposes of this section.
