The Treasurer may accept any gift or bequest to the state of cash or securities and may deposit the same in the General Fund or in any other fund as required or made advisable by the terms of such gift or bequest. In any case in which the terms of such gift or bequest are, in the opinion of the Treasurer, so difficult to administer or otherwise so unsuitable as to make it of doubtful value to the state, the Treasurer may refer the question of the acceptance thereof to the next session of the General Assembly.
