(b) The supplemental fund consists of grants, donations, and appropriations made by the general assembly. The supplemental fund shall be administered by the attorney general. The treasurer of state shall invest the money in the supplemental fund not currently needed to meet the obligations of the supplemental fund in the same manner as other public money may be invested. Interest that accrues from these investments shall be deposited in the state general fund.
