The Illinois State Police shall remit the moneys to the State Treasurer, who shall deposit the moneys into the State Police Operations Assistance Fund.
The actual time of the movement shall be the time the police escort is required to pick up the movement to the time the movement is completed. Any delays or breakdowns shall be considered part of the movement time. Any fraction of an hour shall be rounded up to the next whole hour.
