No funds shall be used to purchase furnishings for any house, mobilehome, or apartment of three or more rooms other than a dormitory that is rented to a state employee. This provision shall not apply to the purchase of refrigerators, heaters, air-conditioning equipment, stoves, linoleum, or equipment normally furnished in the construction of a house, as may be determined by the Department of Human Resources. It is the intent of the Legislature that furnishings are not to be provided by the state and that no moneys shall be paid from any appropriation for their replacement or repair, except in connection with the disposal thereof.
