(c) Examination Fee - The fee to be paid each time an examination is taken or retaken.

(d) Initial Licensure Fee - A fee to be paid when the Board has granted licensure or provisional licensure and prior to the issuance of the 'artistically designed' wall license.

(e) Late Renewal Fee - A fee to be paid when an individual fails to timely renew and is in addition to the Licensure Renewal Fee.

(f) Licensure Renewal Fee - To be paid biennially by all licensees except retired licensees and Inactive Volunteers. This fee also applies to licensees who reactivate a retired, inactive, or expired license.

(g) State Regulatory Fee - To be paid by all individuals at the time of application and biennially (every other year) with all renewal applications.

(h) Clinical Fellows shall not be charged a fee to upgrade from provisional licensure to full licensure.

(2) All fees may be paid in person, by mail or electronically by cash, check, money order, or by credit and/or debit cards accepted by the Division.
