A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO INCREASE THE REGISTRATION AND RENEWAL FEES FOR REGISTERED FORESTERS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 89B-10 reads as rewritten:
"§ 89B-10. Application and registration fees.
Applications for registration shall be made on forms prescribed and furnished by the Board. The application fee for a certificate of registration as a registered forester shall be fifteen dollars ($15.00), which shall accompany the application. An additional twenty dollars ($20.00) shall be paid upon issuance of the certificate of registration. Should the applicant fail or refuse to remit the certificate fee within 30 days after being notified in the usual manner that the applicant has successfully qualified, he forfeits the right to have the certificate so issued and said applicant may be required again to submit an original application fee therefor. Should the Board deny the issuance of a certificate of registration to any applicant, the initial application fee deposited by the applicant shall be retained by the Board."
Sec. 2. G.S. 89B-11 reads as rewritten:
"§ 89B-11. Expiration and renewals.
Registrations shall expire on the last day of June following issuance or renewal and shall become invalid after that date unless renewed. It shall be the duty of the secretary of the Board to notify, at his last registered address, every person registered under this Chapter of the date of the expiration of his registration and the amount of fee which shall be required for its renewal for one year. Such notices shall be mailed at least 30 days in advance of the expiration date of such registrations. The annual renewal fee for certificates shall be twenty dollars ($20.00). The fee for issuance of replacement certificates of registration shall be five dollars ($5.00).
Any registration which has expired may be renewed by paying a fee of twenty dollars ($20.00) plus one dollar ($1.00) per calendar month from the date of expiration. Charges above the renewal fee shall not exceed twenty dollars ($20.00).”
Sec. 3. This act is effective upon ratification and applies to registration, renewal, and replacement fees due on or after that date.
