§  441-b.  License fees.   1. The fee for a license issued or reissued
  under the provisions of this article entitling a person, co-partnership,
  limited liability company or corporation to act as a real estate  broker
  shall be one hundred fifty-five dollars plus an additional thirty dollar
  surcharge.  Such surcharge shall be collected by the department of state
  and deposited into the anti-discrimination in housing  fund  established
  pursuant  to  section  eighty-a  of the state finance law to be used for
  statewide fair housing testing efforts. The fee for a license issued  or
  reissued  under the provisions of this article entitling a person to act
  as a real  estate  salesperson  shall  be  fifty-five  dollars  plus  an
  additional  ten  dollar  surcharge. Such surcharge shall be collected by
  the department of state and deposited into  the  anti-discrimination  in
  housing  fund  established  pursuant  to  section  eighty-a of the state
  finance law to be used  for  statewide  fair  housing  testing  efforts.
  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  subdivision  seven of section four
  hundred forty-one-a of  this  article,  after  January  first,  nineteen
  hundred  eighty-six,  the  secretary  of  state  shall  assign staggered
  expiration dates for outstanding  licenses  that  have  been  previously
  renewed  on  October  thirty-first  of  each year from the assigned date
  unless renewed. If the assigned date results  in  a  term  that  exceeds
  twenty-four  months,  the  applicant  shall  pay  an additional prorated
  adjustment together with the regular renewal fee. The secretary of state
  shall assign dates to existing licenses in a manner which  shall  result
  in a term of not less than two years.
1-A.  The  fee  for  a  person  to  take an examination offered by the
  secretary of state pursuant to this article shall  be  fifteen  dollars.
  Fees collected by the department of state pursuant to this article shall
  be  deposited  to  the  credit  of  the  business and licensing services
  account established pursuant to  section  ninety-seven-y  of  the  state
  finance law.
2. Corporations and co-partnerships. If the licensee be a corporation,
  the  license  issued  to  it shall entitle the president thereof or such
  other officer as shall be designated by such corporation, to  act  as  a
  real  estate broker. For each other officer who shall desire to act as a
  real estate broker in behalf of such corporation an  additional  license
  expiring  on  the  same  date as the license of the corporation shall be
  applied for and issued, as hereinbefore  provided,  the  fee  for  which
  shall be the same as the fee required by this section for the license to
  the corporation. No license as a real estate salesperson shall be issued
  to  any  officer  of  a  corporation  nor  to any manager or member of a
  limited liability company nor to a member of a  co-partnership  licensed
  as a real estate broker. If the licensee be a co-partnership the license
  issued  to  it  shall entitle one member thereof to act as a real estate
  broker, and for each other member of the firm who desires to  act  as  a
  real  estate  broker  an additional license expiring on the same date as
  the license of the co-partnership shall be applied for  and  issued,  as
  hereinbefore  provided,  the  fee for which shall be the same as the fee
  required by this section for the license to the co-partnership.  If  the
  licensee  be a limited liability company, the license issued to it shall
  entitle one member thereof or one manager  thereof  to  act  as  a  real
  estate  broker,  and  for  each  other member or manager of the firm who
  desires to act as a real estate broker an additional license expiring on
  the same date as the license of the limited liability company  shall  be
  applied  for  and  issued,  as  hereinbefore provided, the fee for which
  shall be the same as the fee required by this section for the license to
  the limited liability company. In case a person licensed individually as
  a real estate broker thereafter becomes an officer of a corporation or a
  member or manager of a limited  liability  company  or  a  member  of  a

  co-partnership   an   application  shall  be  made  in  behalf  of  such
  corporation, limited liability company or co-partnership for a  broker's
  license  for  them  as  its representative for the remainder of the then
  current  license  term,  provided  that  the  license  and  pocket  card
  previously issued to the licensee in  their  individual  capacity  shall
  have  been  returned  to  the  department whereupon the department shall
  cause a properly signed endorsement to be made  without  charge  on  the
  face of such license and pocket card as to such change of license status
  and return the license and pocket card to the licensee.
3. Disposition of fees. The department of state shall on the first day
  of  each  month make a verified return to the department of taxation and
  finance of all fees  received  by  it  under  this  article  during  the
  preceding  calendar month, stating from what city or county received and
  by whom and when paid.
