What is the role of the board regarding provisional registration fees?

The role of the board in relation to provisional registration fees is to establish a reasonable fee. This means that the board has the authority to determine what amount is appropriate for a provisional registration fee, taking into consideration various factors such as administrative costs and the need to regulate the security industry effectively. Setting a reasonable fee ensures that the cost is not prohibitive for applicants while also allowing the board to cover its expenses related to processing applications and maintaining oversight.

This emphasizes the board's responsibility to balance accessibility with the financial sustainability of its operations. By establishing a reasonable fee, the board can ensure that it fulfills its regulatory functions without placing an undue burden on individuals seeking licensure or registration.

In contrast, the other options either limit the board's authority or impose specific conditions that do not reflect the board’s role in fee determination. The ability to set a reasonable fee gives the board the flexibility required to adapt to changing financial needs and regulatory requirements.
