(1) The State Fish and Wildlife Commission may appoint agents to issue any of the licenses, tags or permits the commission is authorized by law to issue. The commission shall prescribe the procedure for the issuance of such licenses, tags and permits. Agents of the commission shall issue licenses, tags and permits in accordance with the prescribed procedure and shall charge and collect the fees prescribed by law therefor.
(2) In addition to the fees prescribed by law for the issuance of a license, tag or permit, the issuing agent shall charge and collect $5 for each resident annual sportsperson’s license issued pursuant to ORS 497.132 (2)(a) and $1.50 each for any other license, tag or permit. If the agent is a county clerk, the agent shall deposit such additional fees in the general fund of the county for which the agent is the clerk. If the agent is an employee of the State Department of Fish and Wildlife, the moneys shall be deposited in the State Wildlife Fund. Agents other than county clerks or department employees who issue licenses without the use of a state computerized licensing system may retain such additional fees for their license tag or permit issuance services. Agents other than county clerks or department employees who issue licenses, tags or permits using a state computerized licensing system may retain such portion of the additional fees, but not less than $2.50 for each resident annual sportsperson’s license issued pursuant to ORS 497.132 (2)(a) or 75 cents for any other license, tag or permit, as may be specified by contract between the department and the agent for license, tag or permit issuance service performed by the agent.
(3) If the commission finds that an agent appointed pursuant to this section has violated any of the provisions of law or the procedures prescribed by the commission for the issuance of licenses, tags or permits or the collection and disposition of fees therefrom, the commission may revoke the authority of the agent to issue licenses, tags and permits, or may suspend such authority for such time as the commission considers appropriate.
