As mentioned, not sure how your state does things. NC is different and most of my experience deals with fishery issues. WRC deals with wildlife and freshwater fishing, MFC/DMF deals with saltwater We have several agencies in charge vs just one. Many coastal states have a JEA (Joint Enforcement Agreement) that gives states wildlife officers the authority to ticket someone for a federal fishing violations. Without it they can only cite a state violation. Not sure if PA has something like this, but under this agreement the charges are federal, tried in state's federal court (each has one) and yes the funds they are charged with goes back into the wildlife funds of the state not the feds or general funds.
Think at this point some states may learn something from another state, or they can use another state as a lesson learned.
