SEC. 2.

16305.

This legislation visualizes that the Controller will be responsible for maintaining the segregated accounts of the moneys of state agencies which are deposited with the Treasurer in trust, and that the Treasurer will not maintain records which in their detail duplicate the accounting records maintained by the Controller for these moneys.
