For installing a uniform accounting system and examining the financial accounts of an elevator or public warehouse, an association, copartnership, corporation, or limited liability company shall pay the examiner a reasonable fee, as determined by the commissioner. If an association, copartnership, corporation, or limited liability company wrongfully refuses or neglects to pay the fees, the commissioner may cancel the license to do business. All fees must be paid into the state treasury. The expenses incurred by the examiner under this chapter must be paid out of the appropriations made by the legislative assembly for this purpose and the expenses must be audited and paid in the same manner as other expenses are audited and paid.
