The Oregon Education Fund is established in the State Treasury, separate and distinct from the General Fund. Moneys in the Oregon Education Fund are continuously appropriated to the Oregon Department of Administrative Services for public education and education lottery bond debt service. Seventy-five percent of the declared earnings of the Education Stability Fund as described in ORS 348.696 shall be transferred monthly to the Oregon Education Fund as directed by the Director of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services. Investment earnings on amounts in the Oregon Education Fund shall be credited to the Oregon Education Fund. The Legislative Assembly may, but shall be under no legal obligation to, allocate and appropriate amounts in the Oregon Education Fund to pay education lottery bonds. The Director of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services may specify when during any fiscal year amounts shall be transferred from the Oregon Education Fund to be used for public education or education lottery bonds.
