(2) All other moneys in the Insurance Fund shall be subject to an annual appropriation each fiscal year for the support of the Department of Insurance.
(3) If the current cash balance in the Seismic Safety Account is not adequate to fund the amount appropriated from it in the annual Budget Act, the Insurance Fund, upon enactment of the Budget Act, shall loan to the account the amount of the appropriation, and one half of this amount shall be transferred to the Seismic Safety Commission. The second half of the appropriated amount shall be transferred to the Seismic Safety Commission from the Seismic Safety Account on or before December 31 of each year.

Repayment shall be made from revenues received by the department for the same fiscal year for which the loan is made.
