A city with a population less than 850,000 must use the money collected for the Child Safety Fund for a school crossing guard program if the city operates one.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if state funds are available
• D. It depends on the year

Answer: (A)

Funds in the Child Safety Fund are dedicated for a specific purpose: to support a school crossing guard program. If a city operates such a program, the statute requires that the money collected into this fund be used to fund that program. The population detail is a distractor and does not alter this obligation; the requirement applies to cities that have a crossing guard program regardless of size. So, the statement is true because dedicated funds must be used for the crossing guard program when it exists.
