     50-57-205. License fee -- late renewal fee -- allocation of fees. (1) For each annual license issued or renewed, the department shall collect a fee of $115.
     (2) A person operating an establishment who fails to renew a license by the expiration date provided in 50-57-206 and who operates the establishment in the license year for which an annual renewal fee was not paid shall, upon renewal, pay to the department a late renewal fee of $25 in addition to the annual renewal fee required by subsection (1). Payment of the late renewal fee does not relieve the operator of responsibility for operating without a license.
     (3) The department shall deposit the annual fees collected under subsection (1) as follows:
     (a) 90% into the state special revenue fund to the credit of the local board inspection fund account, created in 50-2-108;
     (b) 5% into the general fund; and
     (c) 5% into the account created in 50-57-213 in the state special revenue fund.
     (4) The department shall deposit all of the fees collected under subsection (2) into the account created by 50-57-213 in the state special revenue fund.
