      appropriations from the account to the department for the purpose of
      technology upgrades under the medical assistance program.
         3.  The account shall be separate from the general fund of the
      state and shall not be considered part of the general fund of the
      state.  The moneys in the account shall not be considered revenue of

      state under section 8.33 and shall not be transferred, used,
      obligated, appropriated, or otherwise encumbered, except to provide

      subsection 2, interest or earnings on moneys deposited in the account
      shall be credited to the account.
         4.  The treasurer of state shall provide a quarterly report of
