Whenever any public officer, other than an officer or employee of the department, receives from any private source any moneys to defray the cost of that transportation, he or she shall immediately transmit the moneys to the department. All moneys, together with any moneys received directly by the department from private sources for transportation of nonresidents, shall be deposited by the department in the State Treasury, in augmentation of the current appropriation for the support of the department.
