      department may use moneys revenues in the redevelopment fund for
      administration, investigation, abatement action, and preparing and
      implementing corrective action plans for petroleum releases not covered by
      the petroleum storage tank fund if, in the opinion of the director of the

      that the uses of the fund for the department's costs in
      administering this subsection (9) are subject to annual
      appropriation by the general assembly.
      
           SECTION 2.  Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds,
      determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
      preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
