§  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
fifty 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  thirty  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.
