326.42 APPLICATIONS, FEES.
    Subdivision 1. Application. Applications for plumber's license shall be made to the
commissioner, with fee. Unless the applicant is entitled to a renewal, the applicant shall be
licensed by the commissioner only after passing a satisfactory examination developed and
administered by the commissioner, based upon rules adopted by the Plumbing Board, showing
fitness. Examination fees for both journeyman and master plumbers shall be $50 for each
examination. Upon being notified of having successfully passed the examination for original
license the applicant shall submit an application, with the license fee herein provided. The license
fee for each initial and renewal master plumber's license shall be $120. The license fee for each
initial and renewal journeyman plumber's license shall be $55. The commissioner may by rule
prescribe for the expiration and renewal of licenses. Any licensee who does not renew a license
within two years after the license expires is no longer eligible for renewal. Such an individual
must retake and pass the examination before a new license will be issued. A journeyman or master
plumber who submits a license renewal application after the time specified in rule but within two
years after the license expired must pay all past due renewal fees plus a late fee of $25.
    Subd. 2. Fees for plan reviews and audits. Plumbing system plans and specifications that
are submitted to the commissioner for review shall be accompanied by the appropriate plan
examination fees. If the commissioner determines, upon review of the plans, that inadequate fees
were paid, the necessary additional fees shall be paid prior to plan approval. The commissioner
shall charge the following fees for plan reviews and audits of plumbing installations for public,
commercial, and industrial buildings:
