§238. No exception to provisions of this Chapter to be implied
A. No provision of law authorizing or requiring any agency to keep accounts or to exercise fiscal management and control over or with respect to any institution, activity, fund, or functions of the state, shall be so construed as to exclude the department, office, or institution from the requirements of this Chapter relating to deposits of money in the treasury, or other matters herein provided, except as the exclusion is provided by the constitution and is clearly stated therein in such form as to require exception to any requirement herein prescribed or is necessary to prevent the impairment of this state or any agency thereof, of contract rights or the revocation or termination of any gift, donation, deed, will, trust, or other instrument or disposition by which property of any nature or description has been vested in any agency affected by this Chapter, or the diversion from the purpose for which the property was donated, deeded, devised, or bequeathed to, or otherwise vested in, any such agency.
If and when the constitution is amended to remove any such exclusion as is necessitated by the constitution, the exception in relation thereto shall no longer prevail.
B. The provisions of this Chapter shall not be construed or applied in such a way as to prevent full compliance by this state or any subdivision or agency thereof with the requirements of any act of the Congress of the United States, or any regulations made thereunder by any officer or agency of the federal government, by which federal assistance or other financial aid from the United States, has been made available to this state or any subdivision or agency thereof, anything contained in this Chapter to the contrary notwithstanding.
