or entities for services furnished pursuant to law: Provided further,
That any inventories, equipment, and other assets pertaining to the
services to be provided by such funds, either on hand or on order, less
the related liabilities or unpaid obligations, and any appropriations
made hereafter for the purpose of providing capital, shall be used to
capitalize the Working Capital Fund: Provided further, That the Working
Capital Fund shall provide for centralized services at rates which will
return in full all expenses of operation, including depreciation of fund
plant and equipment, amortization of automated data processing software
and hardware systems, and an amount necessary to maintain a reasonable
operating reserve as determined by the Director.''
