A person may not operate a tanning facility without a license issued by the department. The department shall conduct a preoperational inspection prior to initial licensure or changes in ownership to insure operator compliance and understanding of all laws and regulations. License renewals must be submitted to the department during December every year. A tanning facility license expires on December thirty-first of each year. If the license renewal application and renewal fee are not received by December thirty-first, the license expires and the licensee may not operate. Within sixty days after December thirty-first, an expired license may be renewed by submitting the renewal application, renewal fee, and a late fee in the amount of fifty percent of the license fee. Licenses are not transferable. The annual license fee for a tanning facility containing one to five tanning beds is ninety dollars plus ten dollars per bed and one hundred eighty dollars for facilities with more than five beds. A plan review application fee for a licensee is fifty percent of the annual license fee if a plan review application is required. For a person's initial license application, an annual license fee and a license application administration fee of one hundred dollars is required in addition to fifty percent of the annual license fee if a plan review application is required.
