Oklahoma Statutes - Title 59. Professions and Occupations Page 861

time when the Legislature is not in session if the fees or schedule

to paragraph 2 of this subsection. The Board must follow the

procedures required by Article I of the Administrative Procedures

Act for adoption of rules in establishing or amending any such

schedule of fees; and

2. The Board shall charge fees only within the following

ranges, except as may be otherwise specified in this section or

another provision of law.

For application for license not to exceed $30.00

For license or permit renewal: not to exceed $200.00

For formal project review for

For dishonored checks: not to exceed amount

pursuant to the

B. The Board shall base its schedule of fees upon the

reasonable costs of review and inspection services rendered in

connection with each license, permit, or review, but shall be within

the ranges specified in paragraph 2 of subsection A of this section,

except as otherwise specified in this section or provided by law.

The Board shall establish a system of training for all personnel who

statewide application of rules. The Board shall include the

reasonable costs associated with such training in the fees provided

for in this section.

C. The Board may exempt by rule any class of licensee or

permittee from the requirements of the fee schedule if the Board

determines that the creation of such a schedule for any such class

would create an unreasonable economic hardship.

D. All fee changes adopted by the Board shall be reviewed and

approved as provided in subsection F of Section 308 of Title 75 of

the Oklahoma Statutes.

E. Unless otherwise provided, licenses and permits issued by

the Construction Industries Board shall be for a one-year period.

F. When, at the time of application or renewal of any license

or registration, payment is made by check for fees and the check is

not paid by the bank on which drawn for any reason, such license or

registration issued at that time shall be invalid. In all such

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 59. Professions and Occupations Page 862

cases, the license or registration shall be subject to the license

or registration fees and penalties provided in subsection A of this

section and treated as though no attempt to apply for or renew a

license or registration had been made. The Board may charge and

collect from the licensee, registrant or other obligor of fees or

fines, a fee for each return by a bank or other depository

institution of a dishonored check, negotiable order of withdrawal or

share draft issued by the licensee, registrant or other obligor.
