(b) When the livestock commissioner determines that the fees collected under this section are yielding more than is required for the purposes for which such fees are collected, the commissioner may reduce such fees for such period as the commissioner deems justified. In the event the livestock commissioner, after reducing such fees, finds that sufficient revenues are not being produced by the reduced fees to properly administer and enforce this act and acts of which this section is amendatory or supplemental, the commissioner may increase such fees to such rate as will, in the commissioner's judgment, produce sufficient revenue for the purposes provided in this section, but not exceeding $.75 per head on cattle and not to exceed $.05 per head on sheep.
(c) The livestock commissioner shall remit all moneys received under K.S.A. 47-434 through 47-445, and amendments thereto, to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 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 county option brand fee fund, except any amounts received for brand inspection services of livestock outside of a county option area. All expenditures from such fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the livestock commissioner or by a person or persons designated by the commissioner. All amounts received for inspection of livestock outside of a county option area shall be deposited to the credit of the livestock brand fee fund.
