 7 2. The fund shall consist of all monies appropriated for its purpose,
 8 all monies transferred to such fund pursuant to law, all monies required
 9 by this section or any other provision of law to be paid into or credit-
 10 ed to the fund and any interest earnings which may accrue from the
 11 investment of monies in the fund. Nothing contained herein shall prevent
 12 the comptroller or commissioner of children and family services from
 13 receiving grants, gifts or bequests for the purposes of the fund as
 14 defined in this section and depositing them into the fund according to
 15 law.
 16 3. Monies of the fund, when allocated, shall be available to make
 17 grants to eligible not-for-profit youth sports organizations. Not-for-

 20 lished by the commissioner of children and family services for such
 21 purpose.
 22 4. Monies shall be payable from the fund on the audit and warrant of
 23 the comptroller on vouchers approved and certified by the commissioner
 24 of children and family services.
