32-1931. Permit fees; issuance; expiration; renewals
A. The board shall assign the permit of all persons or firms issued under this chapter to one of two permit renewal groups. Except as provided in section 32-4301, a holder of a permit ending in an even number shall renew it biennially on or before November 1 of the even numbered year, two years from the last renewal date. Except as provided in section 32-4301, a holder of a permit ending in an odd number shall renew it biennially on or before November 1 of the odd numbered year, two years from the last renewal date. Failure to renew and pay all required fees on or before November 1 of the year in which the renewal is due suspends the permit. The board shall vacate a suspension when the permittee pays penalties of not to exceed three hundred fifty dollars and all past due fees. The board may waive collection of a fee or penalty due after suspension under conditions established by a majority of the board.
B. The board shall prorate the fee for new permits for the remaining full calendar months of the respective group to which the permit is assigned.
C. Permit fees that are designated to be not more than a maximum amount shall be set by the board for the following two fiscal years beginning November 1. The board shall establish the fees approximately proportionate to the maximum fee allowed to cover the board's anticipated expenditures for the following two fiscal years. Variation in a fee is not effective except at the expiration date of the permit.
D. Applications for permits shall be accompanied by the following biennial fees as determined by subsection C of this section:
1. A nonprescription drug permit, not more than two hundred dollars. Permittees stocking thirty different nonprescription drug products or less shall be classified as category I retailers. Permittees stocking more than thirty different nonprescription drug products shall be classified as category II retailers. Both categories are subject to biennial permit fees established by the board pursuant to this chapter.

F. Permits issued under this section are not transferable.
G. If a permittee does not apply for renewal, the permit expires pursuant to subsection A of this section. A person may activate and renew an expired permit by filing the required application and fee. Renewal thirty days after the expiration date of a permit may be made only on payment of the required biennial renewal fee, all past due fees and a penalty of one-half of the amount of the applicable biennial renewal fee.
