Plain-English Summary
Section 25-3308 handles the money side of the registration system set up in section 25-3307. An application for registration or renewal must be accompanied by the applicable fee. The Secretary of State may, by rule and regulation, set those fees at rates sufficient to cover the costs of administering the act, if any such fees are required.
Fees collected under this section go to the Secretary of State, who remits them to the State Treasurer for credit to the Secretary of State Cash Fund, rather than the state’s general fund. That structure ties the cost of running the registration system to the fees the regulated companies themselves pay.
