From fiscal 2024 the Division's table shows no general-fund money, and its fiscal 2027 request puts the general-fund part at an estimated $0: the appropriation is reduced as fees arrive, so a shortfall would fall on the general fund. Fee-only years are not new: the table also shows none in 2000 to 2003 and in 2009. Congress sets how much of the fees the Division may use.
