who use money orders should retain receipt of proof of purchase for at least
six (6) months;
(B) The division
will accept payment by credit card, as defined by section
407.432(4),
RSMo, for the purpose of renewing licenses
via the Internet. Payment of license renewal fees by credit card shall be
restricted to renewal submitted via the Internet only;
1. Payment of license fees submitted via the
Internet shall include a convenience fee in the amount of seven dollars
($7).
2. Applications for initial
licensure and renewal submitted via paper shall not be assessed the convenience
fee.
3. The division shall, on an
annual basis, assess the fund and determine if the convenience fee is
generating sufficient revenue to support the reasonable costs of maintaining
the system or if it results in excess revenue beyond the need of supporting the
system, and adjust the convenience fee as appropriate to ensure the revenues
raised by the convenience fee do not exceed the reasonable costs of supporting
the system.
(C) Licensees

(F) Where the application for renewal is not
completed in a manner acceptable to the appropriate board, or the fee is not
included, or the fee is inadequate, or the licensee has not met the statutory
or regulatory requirements of the pertinent board, licenses may be withheld
until the problem is appropriately resolved. Deposit of the fee does not
indicate acceptance of the application or that any licensing requirements have
been fulfilled. Licensees may be subject to additional requirements or civil
monetary penalties imposed by the appropriate board.
(5) The provisions of this rule are declared
severable. If any provision fixed by this rule is held invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this rule shall remain in
full force and effect, unless otherwise determined by a court of competent
