Ten dollars ($10.00) of the initial fee and ten dollars ($10.00) of the renewal fee shall be deposited in the state highway account and shall be used to fund the cost of administration of this special license plate program. Twenty-five dollars ($25.00) of each initial fee and fifteen dollars ($15.00) of each renewal fee shall be deposited by the state treasurer in the department of lands fund for use in reforestation activities on state lands, provided however, that prior to the beginning of any fiscal year, the state board of land commissioners may agree that funds made available under this section to the department of lands for the coming year would better further reforestation objectives of the management and conservation of forest resources on public and private lands in the state if expended for educational efforts set forth in this section.
Whenever title or interest in a vehicle registered under the provisions of this section is transferred or assigned, the owner may transfer the special plates to another vehicle upon payment of the required transfer fees.
