§ 711j. Examination, reexamination, certificate and licensing fees

The fees to be paid for issuing certificates or licenses, due to the inactivity, renewal or reactivation of the same, and for the examinations and reexaminations required in §§ 711—711z of this title, shall be those that the Board shall determine from time to time and through regulations, taking into account the existing costs and the laws and regulations that may apply. The Board shall carry out a public hearings process as provided by §§ 2101 et seq. of Title 3, known as the “Uniform Administrative Procedure Act”, every time it decides to change the fees to be paid.

The fees established through regulations shall be paid through an internal revenue voucher upon filing the application for a certificate, license or examination, as the case may be, with the Board.

The Board shall not return any amount of money to the applicant who fails his/her examination or desists from his/her application.

The application for a license or a certificate shall be made on the forms furnished by the Board for such purpose, on which there shall be adequate blank spaces for the applicant to enter his/her personal data, the information concerning his/her academic education, experience, if any, and the persons whom the Board may ask for references of the applicant.

The fees collected for the services of the Boards regulated herein shall be separated by the Treasury Department through an account with the figures for the income of the Examination Board, using adequate accounting methods, to be used thereby in the financing of their respective budgets.
