state treasurer, two members of the senate appointed by the president pro
tem of the senate, two members of the house of representatives appointed
by the speaker of the house and four members of the Missouri humanities
council executive committee appointed by the chair of the council. Any
member appointed due to such person's membership in the senate, house of
representatives or humanities council shall serve only as long as such
person holds the office referenced in this section. The state treasurer
shall invest moneys in the fund in a manner as provided by law. Subject
to appropriations, moneys in the fund shall be used solely for the

of the Missouri humanities council. The provisions of section 33.080,
RSMo, to the contrary notwithstanding, money in the Missouri humanities
council trust fund shall not be transferred and placed to the credit of
the general revenue fund. (L. 1995 H.B. 194 § 5, A.L. 1997 H.B. 51 merged

programming expenses except that the administrative costs shall not
exceed five percent of such funding. (L. 1995 H.B. 194 § 3, A.L. 1999
S.B. 184)
The general assembly may appropriate funds for grants to the
Missouri humanities council. State funds received pursuant to sections
