(m)  Money market funds whose portfolios consist of any allowed investment as specified in this section. The securities held in money market portfolios must be dollar-denominated, meaning that all principal and interest payments on such a security are payable to security holders in United States dollars.
(2)  The term "idle moneys" means the balance of cash and other evidences of indebtedness that are accepted by banks as cash in the ordinary course of business, in demand deposit accounts, after taking into consideration all deposits and withdrawals, on a daily basis.
(3)  The interest received on all such investments, unless otherwise specifically required by law, shall be paid into the general fund of the state of Idaho. Provided, unless otherwise specifically provided by statute, any interest earned on moneys received by the state pursuant to a federal law, regulation, or federal-state agreement that governs disposition of interest earned upon such moneys shall be accounted for separately to give effect to the federal law, regulation, or federal-state agreement.
(4)  If the interest is to be credited to a separate fund, the state treasurer shall charge the fund an investment administration fee. The amount of the fee shall be determined annually by the state treasurer and submitted to the board of examiners for approval. The fee shall be expressed as an annual percentage of the average daily balance of the fund, including separate investments, if any, of that fund. The fee shall be charged monthly in an amount approximately one twelfth (1/12) of the fee that would be payable on an annual basis. The amount of the investment administration fee shall constitute an appropriation from the fund for which the investment administration services are rendered.

The investment administration fee shall be determined annually by the state treasurer and submitted to the board of examiners for approval. The fee shall be expressed as an annual percentage of the average daily balance of the fund, including separate investments, if any, of that fund. The fee shall be charged monthly in an amount approximately one twelfth (1/12) of the fee that would be payable on an annual basis. The amount of the investment administration fee shall constitute an appropriation from the fund for which the investment administration services are rendered.
(6)  The term "to invest" means to use the idle moneys in the state treasury to buy, sell, including selling before maturity at either a gain or a loss, retain, or exchange any of the investments described in this section, considering the probable safety of the capital, the probable income to be derived, and the liquidity of the assets.
