fund and used to issue reflectorized license plates. If at the end of a fiscal year,
money remains in the program fund, it shall be retained in the fund and shall
not revert to the state road fund. The interest and income earned on money in
the program fund shall also be retained in the program fund to carry out the
provisions of this subsection. The Transportation Cabinet shall begin issuing

plates, and insignia consigned to him. The Auditor of Public Accounts, pursuant
