				inspection, or upon receipt of an invoice from the department. Certificates
				will not be issued until application has been made, certification requirements

				added to the original fee and paid by the applicant before the
				registration-inspection certificate shall be issued. This penalty is to recover
				the costs associated with reinspections.

				virus-free certification shall be as follows: three dollars ($3) per registered
				fruit tree and one dollar ($1) per registered grapevine. Fees are payable by
