All expenses incurred by the board in implementing and administering this part shall be paid out of the fund; provided, that the expenses of the board shall not be in excess of the moneys in the fund. The board may charge and collect the following fees, which shall be deposited into the fund:

(1) An application fee for a temporary or regular license;

(2) An examination fee, if applicable;

(3) A renewal fee for a temporary or regular license; however, if the initial license was held for less than one (1) year, then the renewal fee is reduced by fifty percent (50%);

(4) A reinstatement fee for any application for reinstatement of a temporary or regular license that has been revoked or suspended; and
