3. The aeronautics commission may charge a reasonable cost of service fee for registration of aircraft operated by state agencies, political subdivisions, aviation schools operated by state institutions of higher education, or the civil air patrol in lieu of the regular registration fee.

4. All fees received under this section must be deposited in the aeronautics commission special fund.
