(2)(a) As part of the fees prescribed in the fee schedule under ORS 497.061 and in addition to fees otherwise prescribed by law for the issuance of a license, tag or permit, the issuing agent shall charge and collect:

(A) For each resident annual sportspac license issued pursuant to ORS 497.132 (3)(a) and (4)(a), $5.
