(b) The animal health commissioner shall determine annually the amount of funds required for the administration and enforcement of this section and Kan. Stat. Ann. § 47-1806, and amendments thereto, and shall fix and adjust from time to time a livestock dealer registration fee and a renewal fee in such reasonable amounts as may be necessary for such purposes, except that in no case shall either the livestock dealer registration fee or the renewal fee exceed $75.

(c) The animal health commissioner shall remit all moneys received by or for the commissioner under this section to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of Kan. Stat. Ann. § 75-4215, and amendments thereto. Upon receipt of each such remittance, the state treasurer shall deposit the entire amount in the state treasury to the credit of the animal disease control fund.
