§ 465. Fee for examinations and for credential review for admission on
  motion;  disposition;  refunds;  funds.  1.  Every  person  applying for
  examination for admission to practice as an attorney  and  counselor  at
  law shall pay a fee of two hundred fifty dollars, or seven hundred fifty
  dollars  if,  to  qualify  to  take the bar examination, the person must
  satisfy the rules of the court of appeals for the admission of attorneys
  and counselors at law governing the study of law in a  foreign  country,
  for  each  taking or retaking of the examination, or if dispensation has
  been received from the taking of the examination, four  hundred  dollars
  for  credential  review  for admission on motion. All such fees shall be
  paid into the state treasury in  the  manner  provided  by  section  one
  hundred twenty-one of the state finance law.
2.  Moneys  heretofore  or  hereafter  received  by  the board as fees
  pursuant to this section  may,  within  three  years  from  the  receipt
  thereof,  be  refunded to the applicant paying the same, on satisfactory
  proof that:
a. Such moneys were in excess of the amount required by this  section,
  to the extent of such excess, or
b. The applicant failed to take the examination for which such fee was
  paid  because of illness, removal from the state or for any other reason
  or cause which, in the judgment and discretion of the  board,  justified
  or excused his failure to take such examination.
  Such  refunds  shall,  upon approval by the board and after audit by the
  state comptroller, be paid from moneys appropriated for such purpose.
