2.  For a compromise, settlement, or agreement under subdivision 1(i) above, the Attorney General shall prepare and recommend to the Committee a proposed Distribution Plan (the "Plan") regarding the distribution and use of money or property, or both, to be received by the Commonwealth as a result of any  such compromise, settlement, or agreement.   The Committee may propose the same or a modified Plan to the General Assembly for the distribution or use, or both, of such money or property, or both.

3.  For a compromise, settlement, or agreement under subdivision 1(ii) above, if the distribution or use, or both, of any money or property, or both, to be received by the Commonwealth is determined by a court order, federal law, or by a federal entity pursuant to federal law (such as a federal asset forfeiture sharing agreement), the Attorney General shall prepare and provide to the Committee a proposed Plan for the distribution and use  of any such money or property, or both, that is consistent with such court order, federal law, or regulations or policies of such federal agency.   If the permissible purpose(s) for the distribution or use, or both, of such money or property, or both, is described in general terms (for example, it must be used for "law enforcement purposes" or for "consumer education"), the Committee may propose a modified Plan with a more particular distribution  or use, or both, that falls within such general permissible purpose(s).  If a federal entity must approve the final Plan for such distribution or use, or both, and does not approve the Plan submitted to it by the Attorney General, he shall so inform the Committee, and the Plan may be revised if deemed appropriate and resubmitted to the federal entity for approval.  If the federal entity approves the original Plan or a revised Plan, the Attorney General shall so inform the Committee, and the  Committee shall recommend to the General Assembly distribution or use, or both, of such money or property, or both, that is consistent with the Plan approved by the federal entity.

4.  The Attorney General shall not enter into any compromise, settlement, or agreement for the distribution of money or property, or both, to be received by the Commonwealth under subdivision 1(i) or (1(ii) unless the compromise, settlement, or agreement provides that such money or property, or both, is to be deposited into the state treasury.  No such distribution shall occur without a specific appropriation by the General Assembly that is consistent with the permissible purpose(s) set forth in the court order or federal law or by the federal entity.  If a federal entity must approve the final Plan for such distribution or use, or both, and the General Assembly's appropriation in an appropriation act differs from the Plan approved by the federal entity, the appropriation shall be submitted to the federal entity for approval.  The distribution of any money or property, or both, shall be done in a manner as prescribed by the State Comptroller in order to ensure proper accounting on the books of the Commonwealth.

5.  The provisions of subdivisions 1 through 4 shall not apply to any negotiation, compromise, settlement, or agreement involving money or property, or both (a) where the distribution and use of such money or property, or both, is governed specifically by this act or by other law of the Commonwealth, or  (b) in which the total value of such moneys or property does not exceed $250,000, or (c) in which the entire amount of the settlement is for services provided, or for property sold or provided, under a contract with a governmental entity.  “Governmental entity” shall include, without limitation, public institutions of higher education.  The General Assembly hereby appropriates a sum sufficient amount for any settlement or agreement authorized solely by virtue of this subdivision 5."
