A. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving

fund for the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to be

designated the "State-Tribal Litigation Revolving Fund". The fund

shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations,

and shall consist of all monies designated for deposit by law. All

monies accruing to the credit of said fund are hereby appropriated

and may be budgeted and expended, as otherwise provided in this act,

by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for the purpose

of hiring legal counsel and paying legal expenses of the state

related to legal controversies between the State of Oklahoma and

tribal governments.

B. Expenditures from said fund shall only be made for legal

services relating to cases and controversies that the Joint

Committee on State-Tribal Relations, (created pursuant to Section

1222 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes), has formally recommended

the State of Oklahoma pursue or litigate.

C. Expenditures from said fund for the reimbursement of

services by third-party legal counsel shall only be made if the

contract for such services was formally approved by the Joint

Committee on State-Tribal Relations, (created pursuant to Section

1222 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes), prior to the performance

of such services.

D. Expenditures from said fund shall be made upon warrants

issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by

law with the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise

Services for approval and payment.

E. If any of the provisions of this section are determined by a

court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, any

unexpended balance remaining in the State-Tribal Litigation

Revolving Fund created pursuant to this section shall revert to the

General Revenue Fund of this state and shall be used for general

expenses of state government to be paid out pursuant to direct

appropriation of the Legislature.
