(a) A natural

				  completed and signed by the applicant. If the applicant is a business entity,

Alaska Administrative Code › Title 5 - Fish and Game › Part 4 - Department Programs › Chapter 93 - Department Programs › Article 5 - Fish and Game Licensing and License Vendors › 5 AAC 93.560 - Fees, retainage, and compensation for issuance of licenses

Current through May 31, 2024
(a) Except as
				  provided in
				  AS
				  16.05.470 for licensing of commercial fishing
				  crewmembers and vessels, a license vendor who is not a state employee is
				  entitled to compensation as provided in
				  AS
				  16.05.390.
(b) Calculation of the compensation due a
				  license vendor under
				  AS
				  16.05.390 will be based on reports and
				  proceeds received by the commissioner by the end of each calendar quarter.
				  Compensation for licenses sold in one quarter and reported the following
				  quarter must be included in the calculation for the current quarter. If a
				  license vendor reports sales of licenses in one calendar year on the next
				  calendar year report, and the vendor's total sales for the previous year were
				  less than 50 licenses, the difference between 50 and the number of licenses
				  actually sold will be deducted from the year reported and added to the previous
				  year's sales to ensure that the license vendor is not paid twice for these
				  sales.
(c) If the commissioner
				  determines that the license vendor has submitted less than the full amount due,
				  the commissioner, before making payment of the compensation authorized by
				  AS
				  16.05.390(a)(2) and this
				  section, will deduct from the compensation the difference between the amount
				  due and the amount submitted to the commissioner. The commissioner will inform
				  the license vendor, in writing of all deductions.
(d) The commissioner will pay the license
				  vendor within the time specified in
				  AS
				  16.05.390(c). The
				  commissioner may assess a penalty against a vendor under
				  AS
				  16.05.390(g) who does not
				  timely transmit proceeds to the commissioner.
(e) The commissioner may choose not to renew
				  a contract or enter into a new contract with a license vendor if the retainage
				  by and compensation paid to the license vendor in the preceding year exceed the
				  amount remitted to the commissioner for licenses sold by the license
				  vendor.

				  each license issued by the employee.
(b) The license vendor assumes responsibility
				  for all the license vendor's employees who issue licenses. Any failure or
				  default by an employee, including failure to account for all money and all
				  licensing forms, is a failure or default by the license vendor, and the
				  commissioner may take action against the employee, the license vendor, or
				  both.
(c) The license vendor is
				  responsible for the submission of all reports and the accounting of all money
				  collected by the employee. The payment and compensation authorized by

				  the license vendor. The employee will have no right or interest in any
				  retainage or compensation under
				  AS
				  16.05.390. Upon the termination of the
				  employee's employment, or at the request of the license vendor, the employee's
