The statute has been widely successful in public corruption cases in other states. It makes it illegal for an agent or employee of a local agency that receives U.S. dollars to use the money for any purpose other than for what it was intended. Sometimes referred to simply by its criminal code number - 666 - the law carries penalties of 10 years in prison and $100,000 fines.
