(1) The department shall establish biennial fees for initial licensing, renewal of license, and reinstatement of license, none of which fees shall exceed $400. The department may establish a delinquency fee of no more than $50. The fees shall be adequate to proportionately fund the expenses of the department which are allocated to the regulation of talent agencies and shall be based on the department’s estimate of the revenue required to administer this part.
(2) If one or more individuals on the basis of whose qualifications a talent agency license has been obtained cease to be connected with the agency for any reason, the agency business may be carried on for a temporary period, not to exceed 90 days, under such terms and conditions as the department provides by rule for the orderly closing of the business or the replacement and qualifying of a new owner or operator. The licensee’s good standing under this part shall be contingent upon the department’s approval of any such new owner or operator.
(3) No license shall be valid to protect any business transacted under any name other than that designated in the license, unless consent is first obtained from the department, unless written consent of the surety or sureties on the original bond required by s. 468.408 is filed with the department, and unless the license is returned to the department for the recording thereon of such changes. A charge of $25 shall be made by the department for the recording of authorization for each change of name or change of location. (4) No license issued under this part shall be assignable.
