of the processing fee, if imposed, shall be $ 2, unless otherwise specified by
law. Any transaction fees received from the responsible agency or contractor or
processing fees imposed and collected by the Department from the agency,
contractor, or customer under this section shall be paid into the state treasury
and set aside as a special fund to be used to meet the expenses of the
Department.For purposes of this section, “state,” when applied to a
part of the United States, means any of the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the
