Section 39706.

The fees deposited in the Air Pollution Control Fund pursuant to Section 41853.5 are hereby continuously appropriated to the state board for research and development of a cotton gin trash incinerator heat exchanger or other device for the disposal of solid waste which is produced from the ginning of cotton, consistent with emission standards set by a district board or the state board. The state board shall consult with the Solid Waste Management Board prior to awarding a contract for, or conducting, such research and development. If the state board determines that such a device is available or that further expenditures for such purposes would not contribute meaningfully to their development, the fees shall be utilized in accordance with the provisions of Section 43014.
