There is created in the state treasury the multistate tax audit fund. The fund consists of all moneys collected and received by the tax commissioner as a result of participation in the multistate tax commission audit and nexus programs. All moneys in the fund are appropriated to the tax commissioner on a continuing basis to pay the multistate tax commission audit and nexus program fees. On or before June thirtieth of each year, the tax commissioner shall certify to the state treasurer the amount of accumulated funds in the multistate tax audit fund which exceed the audit and nexus program fees for the following year. The state treasurer shall transfer the certified amount from the multistate tax audit fund to the general fund prior to the end of each fiscal year.
