If a fund other than the general fund becomes nonexistent or is transferred to another fund by an act of the Legislature or by directive of any state department or institution, the commissioner of finance and management shall retain sufficient money within the fund to pay all outstanding liabilities and all outstanding warrants drawn against the fund until the warrants expire one hundred eighty days after their issuance. The commissioner of finance and management shall transfer any balance remaining in the fund after the expiration period to the fund if the original fund was previously transferred or to the general fund if no other fund was designated.
