Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXII. Occupations and Professions § 334.050. Board fund created, use--funds transferred to general revenue, when--examination and reexamination fees

1. There is hereby established in the office of the state treasurer a fund to be known as the “Board of Registration for the Healing Arts Fund”. All fees of any kind and character authorized to be charged by the board shall be collected by the director of the division of professional registration and shall be transmitted to the department of revenue for deposit in the state treasury for credit to this fund, to be disbursed only in payment of expenses of maintaining the board and for the enforcement of the provisions of law concerning professions regulated by the board; and no other money shall be paid out of the state treasury for carrying out these provisions. Warrants shall be issued on the state treasurer for payment out of said fund.

2. The provisions of section 33.080 to the contrary notwithstanding, money in this fund shall not be transferred and placed to the credit of general revenue until the amount in the fund at the end of the biennium exceeds two times the amount of the appropriation from the board's funds for the preceding fiscal year or, if the board requires by rule permit renewal less frequently than yearly, then three times the appropriation from the board's funds for the preceding fiscal year. The amount, if any, in the fund which shall lapse is that amount in the fund which exceeds the appropriate multiple of the appropriations from the board's funds for the preceding fiscal year.

3. The board shall charge each person applying to and appearing before it for examination for certificate of licensure to practice as physician and surgeon, an examination fee. Should the examination prove unsatisfactory and the board refuse to issue a license thereon, the applicant failing to pass the examination may return to any meeting and be examined upon payment of a reexamination fee.
