(a) The board shall have the power to fix or change fees for initial licensure, examination, biennial license renewal, verification of licensure or grades to other jurisdictions, initial and renewal certified copies of licenses, and biennial renewal of branch offices.
(b) Moneys collected under the provisions of this act shall be paid into the Professional Licensure Augmentation Account and disbursed according to law.
