The State Justice Institute (Institute) may retain a fee for the use of advertising space in its semiannual newsletter. Congress established the Institute as a private, nonprofit corporation. 42 U.S.C. sect. 10702(a). Although the Institute has many aspects of a federal agency, its authorizing statute states that "[e]xcept as otherwise specifically provided . . . the Institute shall not be considered a department, agency, or instrumentality of the Federal Government." 42 U.S.C. sect. 10704(c)(1). Nothing in the Institute's authorizing legislation explicitly or implicitly requires application of the miscellaneous receipts statute, which states that all money received "for the government" must be deposited in the Treasury. 31 U.S.C. sect. 3302(b). Thus, the Institute is not subject to the miscellaneous receipts statute. Certain legal and policy considerations may inform the Institute's choices regarding advertising it carries in its newsletter. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-307317/html/GAOREPORTS-B-307317.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-307317/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-307317.pdf GAO/B-307317 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-307317 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-307317; B-307317, State Justice Institute--Newsletter Advertising Charges, September 13, 2006; Title 42 Section 10701--10713 42 U.S.C. 10701--10713 Volume 98 Page 3335 98 Stat. 3335 Volume 119 Page 2290 119 Stat. 2290 Public Law 98-620 Public Law 109-108
