If property is forfeited under this chapter, the secretary of public safety or the attorney general may retain the property for official use or sell any forfeited property which is not required to be destroyed by law and which is not harmful to the public, provided that the proceeds be disposed of for payment of all proper expenses of the proceedings for forfeiture and sale including expenses of seizure, maintenance of custody, advertising, and court costs. All moneys seized or proceeds remaining from the sale of forfeited property shall be paid into the general fund.
