Prior to any adjustment to the registration or renewal fee, the Building Commission shall certify to the Legislative Council of the Legislature that the adjustment is necessary in order to comply with the provisions of this chapter. All moneys received by the Building Commission pursuant to this chapter shall be used to administer this chapter.
