Section 205-D:12 Fees.
I. The board may establish, pursuant to RSA 541-A, fees for licensure, license renewal, training, inspections conducted by the state fire marshal, and the manufacturer's warranty seal. The fees established by the board shall be sufficient to produce estimated revenues equal to 125 percent of the direct operating expenses of the board for the previous fiscal year. The fee for the manufacturer's warranty seal shall not exceed $50. If the fees collected through licensure, license renewal, training, and the manufacturer's warranty seal are not sufficient to produce revenue to carry out the responsibilities of the board and the responsibilities of the state fire marshal in conducting inspections under this chapter, then the board shall establish a fee for inspection which shall not exceed $100.
II. The board shall establish fees for the first year of its operation based upon its estimate of expenses necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter during that fiscal year. The comptroller is authorized upon request of the department of safety to establish necessary budgetary components and operating accounts in the department and to transfer revenues received from the fees in this section and in RSA 205-D:11 to the department to carry out the responsibilities of the board and the responsibilities of the state fire marshal in conducting inspections under this chapter.
III. If an inspection is conducted by a local enforcement agency, the local enforcement agency may charge fees established pursuant to RSA 674:51, III(d).
