In accordance with sections 30.170 and 30.180, the state treasurer may approve disbursements. The fund shall be a dedicated fund and moneys in the fund shall be used solely by the department of health and senior services for enhancing senior services provided by area agencies on aging in this state.

Any interest and moneys earned on such investments shall be credited to the fund.  4.
