 1  In order to further the economic development goals of the

 2  state, and notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the

 3  department may enter into an agreement with the county tax

 4  collector for the purpose of appointing the county tax

 5  collector as the department's agent to accept applications for

 6  licenses and applications for renewals of licenses. The

 7  agreement must specify the time within which the tax collector

 9  fees to the department. In cases where a person applies or

10  schedules directly with a national examination organization or

11  examination vendor to take an examination required for

12  licensure, any organization- or vendor-related fees associated

13  with the examination may be paid directly to the organization

14  or vendor.

15         (10)  The board, or the department when there is no

16  board, shall not issue or renew a license to any applicant or

17  licensee that the board, or the department when there is no

18  board, has assessed a fine, interest, or costs associated with

19  investigation and prosecution until the applicant or licensee

20  has paid in full such fine, interest, or costs associated with

21  investigation and prosecution, or until the applicant or

22  licensee complies with or satisfies all terms and conditions

23  of the final order.
