All fees collected pursuant to this section shall be paid to the State Treasurer and deposited in the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Fund" established pursuant to subsection j. of R.S.39:8-2.

d. The Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Environmental Protection, shall develop and make available a course of instruction, to be offered at State community colleges and other appropriate educational institutions, for the purpose of training repair technicians in the diagnosis and repair of motor vehicle emission control systems.
