(1) As a condition to registration or renewal of registration as required by sections 2-2628 to 2-2633, an applicant shall pay to the department a fee of two hundred dollars for each pesticide to be registered that is not classified as a specialty pesticide by the department and one hundred thirty-five dollars for each pesticide to be registered that is classified as a specialty pesticide by the department, except that the fee may be increased by the director after a public hearing is held outlining the reason for any proposed change in the fee. In no event shall such fee exceed two hundred ten dollars for each pesticide to be registered. All fees collected shall be remitted to the State Treasurer for credit as follows:

(a) Thirty dollars of each such fee to the Noxious Weed Cash Fund as provided in section 2-958;

(b) Sixty dollars of each such fee to the Buffer Strip Incentive Fund as provided in section 2-5106; and

(c) The remainder of each such fee for a pesticide that is not classified as a specialty pesticide, if any, to the Natural Resources Water Quality Fund, and the remainder of each such fee for a pesticide that is classified as a specialty pesticide, if any, to the Pesticide Administrative Cash Fund.

(2) If a person fails to apply for renewal of registration before January 1 of any year, such person, as a condition to renewal, shall pay a late registration fee equal to twenty-five percent of the fee due and owing per month, not to exceed one hundred percent, for each product to be renewed in addition to the renewal fee. The purpose of the late registration fee is to cover the administrative costs associated with collecting fees, and all money collected as a late registration fee shall be remitted to the State Treasurer for credit to the Pesticide Administrative Cash Fund.
