The law gives two different fee amounts for poultry house contractor licenses, so the amount to be charged is unclear from these sections.
The law lists fees for home inspection applications, exams, renewals, and other licensing steps, but some amounts are unclear because the text shows paired figures.

More detail
The Construction Industries Board must charge the listed fees for specified licenses and services. The listed provisions cover construction licenses, permits, exams, and project reviews, along with home inspection licenses. For fees not set by the listed amounts, the Board may set fees by rule within stated caps and must follow required rulemaking steps. The Board must base its fee schedule on reasonable service and training costs; other laws may set different fees. These provisions take effect July 1, 2028.
The law contains conflicting amounts for poultry house contractor license fees. The conflicting amounts concern initial and renewal licenses for poultry house contractors. One section lists $480 for an initial license and $320 for renewal; another lists $300 and $200, respectively. These provisions take effect July 1, 2028.
The law lists fees connected to home inspection licenses. These fees relate to home inspection schools, instructors, organizations, applicants, and license holders. The text shows paired amounts for reciprocity, license, and renewal fees, and its missing amendment formatting does not show which amount applies. These provisions take effect July 1, 2028.
