§ 73-31-9. Fees; renewal of license; deposit of money received by board in special fund; regulation of fund; audit [Repealed effective July 1, 2011].
 

(1)  All fees from applicants seeking licensing under this chapter and all license renewal fees received under this chapter shall be nonrefundable. 

(2)  The board shall charge an application fee to be determined by the board but not to exceed Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) to applicants for licensing, and shall charge the applicant for the expenses incurred by the board for examination of the applicant. 

(3)  Except as provided in Section 33-1-39, every licensed psychologist in this state shall annually pay to the board a fee determined by the board but not to exceed Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00); and the executive secretary shall thereupon issue a renewal of the license for a term of one (1) year. The license of any psychologist who shall fail to renew during the month of July in each and every year shall lapse; the failure to renew the license, however, shall not deprive said psychologist of the right of renewal thereafter. Such lapsed license may be renewed within a period of two (2) years after such lapse upon payment of all fees in arrears. A psychologist wishing to renew a license which has been lapsed for more than two (2) years shall be required to reapply for licensure. 

(4)  On July 1, 1993, and every odd numbered year thereafter, no psychologist license shall be renewed unless the psychologist shows evidence of a minimum of twenty (20) clock hours of continuing education activities approved by the board. 

(5)  All fees and any other monies received by the board shall be deposited in a special fund that is created in the State Treasury and shall be used for the implementation and administration of this chapter when appropriated by the Legislature for such purpose. The monies in the special fund shall be subject to all provisions of the state budget laws that are applicable to special fund agencies, and disbursements from the special fund shall be made by the State Treasurer only upon warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer upon requisitions signed by the chairman or executive secretary of the board. Any interest earned on this special fund shall be credited by the State Treasurer to the fund and shall not be paid into the State General Fund. Any unexpended monies remaining in the special fund at the end of a fiscal year shall not lapse into the State General Fund. The State Auditor shall audit the financial affairs of the board and the transactions involving the special fund at least once a year in the same manner as for other special fund agencies. 
 

This section shall stand repealed from and after July 1, 2011.
