services.

A. The State Board of Health may establish a system of fees to

be charged for health services and for services rendered to members

of the public in the issuance and renewal of licenses and permits by

the State Commissioner of Health and the State Department of Health.

This provision is subject to the following limitations:

1. No schedule of fees may be established or amended by the

Board except during such times as the Legislature is in session;

provided, the Board may establish or amend a schedule of fees at a

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

of fees has been specifically authorized by the Legislature or has

been approved by the Contingency Review Board. The State Board of

Health must follow the procedures required by Article I of the

Administrative Procedures Act for adoption of rules and regulations

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 provided for in this title.

For license or permit issuance: $50.00 to $2,000.00

For license or permit renewal: $10.00 to $500.00

For health services: $25.00 to $250.00

provided further, that any facility exempt from the requirement to

obtain a permit based on date of construction or start-up may be

assessed an annual permit renewal fee equivalent.

B. The Board's authority to establish such a fee schedule shall

extend to all programs administered by the State Commissioner of

Health and the State Department of Health, regardless of whether the

statutes creating such programs are codified in the Oklahoma Public

Health Code.

C. The Board shall base its schedule of licensing or permitting

fees upon the reasonable costs of review and inspection services

rendered in connection with each license and permit program, but

shall be within the ranges specified in subsection A of this

section, except as may be otherwise specified in this section. The

Department shall establish a system of training for all personnel

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 63. Public Health and Safety Page 74

who render review and inspection services in order to assure uniform

statewide application of rules and regulations and the Board shall

also base the fee on reasonable costs associated with the training

of those personnel. Such fees shall not be used in the operation of

local health departments whose personnel do not participate fully in

applicable State Department of Health training and standardization

programs.

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

permittee or any class of facility or activity to be licensed or

permitted from the requirements of the fee schedule if the Board

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

would work an unreasonable economic hardship.

E. All statutory fees now in effect for health services and for

the issuance and renewal of any license or permit administered by

the State Commissioner of Health and the State Department of Health

within the jurisdiction of the Department shall remain in effect

until such time as the Board acts to implement new fee schedules

pursuant to the provisions of this Code.

F. Unless a longer duration is specified for certain permits by

the rules and regulations of the Board, licenses and permits issued

by the Commissioner of Health shall be for a one-year period.
