The bureau shall transmit all fees collected pursuant to this subsection (3) to the state treasurer who shall credit the same to the dangerous dog microchip licensure cash fund, referred to in this section as the “fund”, which fund is hereby created. The moneys in the fund shall be subject to annual appropriation by the general assembly to the bureau for the costs incurred in implementing this section. The state treasurer may invest any moneys in the fund not expended for the purpose of this section as provided by law. All interest and income derived from the investment and deposit of moneys in the fund shall be credited to the fund. Any unexpended and unencumbered moneys remaining in the fund at the end of a fiscal year shall remain in the fund and shall not be credited or transferred to the general fund or another fund.
