The rules may contain procedures for the electronic filing of the following: a. Any document required as part of an application for a license under this title;b. Any document required to be filed by an applicant or licensee to maintain the license in good standing;c. Any fee required under this title; andd. Any other document required or permitted to be filed.2. This section may not be interpreted to supersede any other provision of law that requires the electronic filing of a document or to require an applicant or licensee to make any other filing electronically. The commissioner or the commissioner's designee may charge a processing fee for electronic filing. A fee charged for the processing of an electronic filing is in addition to any other fee imposed for the filing. Processing fees charged for an electronic filing are limited to the lesser of twenty dollars per transaction or the actual cost of the electronic transaction charged by the designee processing the filing. If the actual cost of processing an electronic filing exceeds twenty dollars per transaction, the commissioner may adopt rules to increase an electronic processing fee not to exceed the actual cost charged by the designee.
