The state investment officer shall invest such amounts available from the Veterans' Aid Income Fund in the same manner as investments of the Nebraska Veterans' Aid Fund, and the interest thereon shall also become a part of the Veterans' Aid Income Fund.Source   Laws 1921, c. 40, § 1, p. 181;   C.S.1922, § 6206;   Laws 1923, c. 126, § 1, p. 311;   Laws 1927, c. 194, § 1, p. 552;   C.S.1929, § 80-401;   R.S.1943, § 80-401;   Laws 1945, c. 221, § 1, p. 659;   Laws 1947, c. 306, § 1, p. 926;   Laws 1951, c. 301, § 1, p. 990;   Laws 1959, c. 422, § 1, p. 1419;   Laws 1967, c. 486, § 44, p. 1531;   Laws 1969, c. 584, § 94, p. 2404;   Laws 1975, LB 234, § 1;   Laws 1976, LB 867, § 1;   Laws 1978, LB 733, § 1;   Laws 1981, LB 157, § 1;   Laws 1982, LB 255, § 1;   Laws 1984, LB 38, § 1;   Laws 1987, LB 786, § 2;   Laws 1995, LB 7, § 95;  Laws 2013, LB263, § 29.
