  905.  Training  and  education. 1. The commissioner of health shall
  have authority to approve asbestos safety programs and shall maintain  a
  list  of  approved  programs  which  shall  be made available to license
  applicants, certificate applicants and  other  interested  parties  upon
  request.   The   commissioner  of  health  shall  promulgate  rules  and
  regulations setting forth the criteria for approval  of  such  programs,
  the  procedures  to  be  followed  in applying for such approval and any
  other  rules  or  regulations  as  shall  be  necessary  and  proper  to
  effectuate  the  purposes  of  this  section  and  to  comply  with  the
  requirements of the Federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response  Act  and
  any other applicable federal standards.
2.  (a)  The commissioner of health shall assess a fee of no more than
  twenty dollars for each asbestos safety program  completion  certificate
  requested  by the training sponsor for each full asbestos safety program
  and a fee of no more  than  twelve  dollars  for  each  asbestos  safety
  program  completion  certificate  requested  by the training sponsor for
  each refresher training asbestos safety program, provided, however, that
  in no event shall the cost of  such  certificates  be  assessed  by  the
  sponsor against the participants.
(b)  There  shall be established within the special revenue fund-other
  an asbestos safety program account.  All  fees  assessed  and  collected
  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  subdivision  shall  be paid and
  deposited into the asbestos safety program account established  by  this
  paragraph  for  the  purposes  of  offsetting  the costs incurred by the
  commissioner  of  health  for  the  administration  of  asbestos  safety
  programs.
