21 fund," which shall consist of such funds as may be appropriated for that pur-
22 pose by the legislature, grants, donations or moneys from other sources. The
23 fund shall be administered by the division of veterans services, as created in
24 section 65-201, Idaho Code, in order to provide moneys for a voucher system
25 for transportation services for wheelchair-bound veterans who need transporta-
26 tion to and from medical appointments. Moneys in the fund may be expended pur-
