Previous

(a) CT CARE shall provide victims' relief and assistance to individuals, municipalities, nonprofit organizations and other eligible recipients affected by an eligible incident. Upon the declaration of each eligible incident, the board shall establish the following funds to provide victims' relief and assistance as indicated: (1) A victims' relief fund to provide victims' relief in accordance with the formula adopted by the board pursuant to subdivision (7) of subsection (c) of section 4-37s; (2) an individual assistance fund to provide needs-based assistance to affected individuals; and (3) a public assistance fund to provide local emergency funding to affected municipalities, nonprofit organizations and other eligible recipients. Such funds shall contain moneys disbursed to CT CARE by the State Treasurer pursuant to section 4-37t. For each eligible incident, the board may establish such other funds as it deems necessary or desirable to provide coordinated emergency recovery with respect to each eligible incident.

(b) In the event the moneys in any of the funds established pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, other than the victims' relief fund, are insufficient to provide full and complete assistance, such assistance shall be provided on a pro rata basis at the discretion of the board. Victims' relief or assistance provided under this section shall be deemed unavailable for repayment of assistance given by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

(c) The board may establish permanent endowment funds, including, but not limited to, a permanently unrestricted fund to pay for the operating expenses of CT CARE. Any such endowment funds shall be administered by the board and shall be held in a trust fund with a bank or trust company separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of CT CARE. There shall be deposited into any such endowment fund: (1) Endowment fund eligible gifts, and (2) interest or other income earned on the investment of moneys in such endowment fund pending application or transfer or use of earnings on the principal thereof for the purposes for which such fund was established.
