        The board has the following powers and duties:
            (1)  To levy and collect fees from the various
        applicants, licensees and permittees to fund the operations
        of the board. The fees shall be deposited into the State
        Gaming Fund as established in section 1403 (relating to
        establishment of State Gaming Fund and net slot machine
        revenue distribution) and distributed to the board upon
        appropriation by the General Assembly. In addition to the
        fees set forth in sections 1209 (relating to slot machine
        license fee) and 1305 (relating to Category 3 slot machine
        license), the board shall assess and collect fees as follows:
                (i)  Supplier licensees shall pay a fee of $25,000
            upon the issuance of a license and $10,000 for the annual
            renewal of a supplier license.
                (ii)  Manufacturer licensees shall pay a fee of
            $50,000 upon the issuance of a license and $25,000 for
            the annual renewal of a manufacturer license.
                (iii)  Each application for a slot machine license,
            supplier license or manufacturer license must be
            accompanied by a nonrefundable fee set by the board for
            the cost of each individual requiring a background
            investigation. The reasonable and necessary costs and
            expenses incurred in any background investigation or
            other investigation or proceeding concerning any
            applicant, licensee, permittee or registrant shall be
            reimbursed to the board by those persons.
            (2)  To provide for the assessment and collection of
        fines and penalties for violations of this part. All fines
        and penalties shall be credited for deposit to the General
        Fund. Two years following enactment of this part, the board
        shall have the authority to increase each year any fee,
        charge, cost or administrative penalty, but not any criminal
        fine or penalty, provided in this part by an amount not to
        exceed an annual cost-of-living adjustment calculated by
        applying the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index
        for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the Pennsylvania, New
        Jersey, Delaware and Maryland area for the most recent 12-
        month period for which figures have been officially reported
        by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
        Statistics, immediately prior to the date the adjustment is
        due to take effect.
