(a) Ark. Code Ann. §§ 23-61-701 et seq. provides the Department's authority to generate revenue to support its operations by the imposition of fees; it also divides certain of those fees into two categories, i.e. Category A and Category B. Fees in Category A are those involving material or substantive corporate transactions or those which consume substantial time of Department staff; those fees are capped at a maximum of $1,500 per transaction. Category B fees, on the other hand, are those involving other Departmental filings, transactions or services which do not require a substantial effort by Department staff; those fees are capped at a maximum of $50 per transaction.

(b) Caution: §§ 23-61-701 et seq. and other acts/statutes referenced above, authorize the imposition of other fees set forth in the Rule and Regulation and which are not subject to the respective Category A and Category B “caps”.
