  2.  The division shall mail a renewal notice to the last known address of each licensee prior to the renewal date.  Failure to provide the committee with the information required for renewal, or to pay the renewal fee after such notice shall effect a noncurrent license.  The license shall be reinstated if, within two years of the renewal date, the applicant submits the required documentation and pays the applicable fees as approved by the committee.

  3.  A new license to replace any license lost, destroyed or mutilated may be issued subject to the rules of the committee upon payment of a fee.

  4.  The committee shall set by rule the appropriate amount of fees authorized herein.  The fees shall be set at a level to produce revenue which shall not exceed the cost and expense of administering the provisions of sections 324.200 to 324.225.  All fees provided for in sections 324.200 to 324.225 shall be collected by the director who shall transmit the funds to the director of revenue to be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the "Dietitian Fund" which is hereby created.

  5.  The provisions of section 33.080 to the contrary notwithstanding, money in this fund shall not be transferred and placed to the credit of general revenue until the amount in the fund at the end of the biennium exceeds three times the amount of the appropriation from the dietitian fund for the preceding fiscal year.  The amount, if any, in the fund which shall lapse is that amount in the fund which exceeds the appropriate multiple of the appropriations from the dietitian fund for the preceding fiscal year.
