exercise ((person)) rider ($((67.00)) 69.00) for a total
license fee of $((237.00)) 244.00.
In addition to the above fees, a $10.00 fee will be added to cover the costs of conducting a fingerprint-based background check. The background check fee will be assessed only once annually per person regardless of whether the person applies for more than one type of license in that year.
The commission ((shall)) will review license and
fingerprint fees annually to determine if they need to be
adjusted to comply with RCW 67.16.020.
