results of that examination in which to timely file an application
to take the next scheduled examination.
   (b) The examining committee may accept applications to take the
California bar examination filed after the timely deadlines specified

by the timely application fee and the late filing fee fixed by the
board as follows:
   (1) An application to take the California bar examination filed
between the first and last business days in November for the February
examination or between the first and last business days of April for
the July examination shall be accepted if it is accompanied by the
timely filing fee and a late fee not to exceed fifty dollars ($50).
   (2) An application to take the California bar examination filed
between the last business day of November and January 15 for the
February examination or between the last business day of April and

accompanied by the timely filing fee and a late fee not to exceed two
hundred fifty dollars ($250).
   (3) An application to take the California bar examination filed
after January 15 for the February examination and after June 15 for
the July examination shall not be accepted.
   (c) Application fees for the California bar examination, including
fees for late filing, shall be refunded if the applicant does not
take the California bar examination because of the death of an
immediate family member or the serious illness or disabling injury of
the applicant or a member of his or her immediate family.  A
deduction may be made from the refund for administrative costs.  The
board shall adopt regulations for the administration of this
subdivision.  This subdivision shall not be construed to prohibit the
refund of fees in instances other than those specified.
