Fees
All fees and applications will be
collected by the Board of Laser Safety. Fees are non-refundable except where
stated.
An application processing fee of
$50.00 must accompany each application. An applicant whose application is not
accepted may reapply within two years of the original application date without
paying another fee. After the two-year period, if an applicant wishes to reapply
he/she must once again submit an application fee with the application.
All accepted applicants must submit the examination fee at least
two weeks prior to the examination. Any applicant who has not
paid will not be permitted to sit for the examination. An applicant
may cancel or request to reschedule an examination. All such petitions
must be in writing and received by the BLS at least 30 days prior
to the applicant's scheduled examination date. In this case the
examination fee may be refunded or reapplied to a future examination.
If an applicant cancels or reschedules less than 30 days prior
to the next examination, he/she may reapply the fee to a future
exam. No refunds will be issued in this case.
Within two years of notification of acceptance to sit
for the exam, an applicant who wishes to retake the exam due to
cancellation or failure must notify the BLS in writing. Applicants
may only take the exam two (2) times in a two-year period. There
is a $100 fee to retake the exam. Written notification must be
received within this two-year period.
An applicant who was originally accepted more than two years
previously must follow the new applicant procedures, including
payment of a new fee.
Reimbursement of fees associated with becoming a Certified Laser Safety Officer (CLSO) and Certified Medical Laser Safety Officer (CMLSO) has been approved for veterans’ benefits by the State of Florida, Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Under the GI Bill, if veterans qualify, the VA will reimburse them for taking a license or certification test. Veterans who are interested in obtaining reimbursement for the CLSO and/or CMLSO certification programs must submit an application at www.gibill.va.gov for approval. Certain standards must be met in order to qualify.
To learn more about the VA reimbursement program, call 1-888-GIBILL-1 or visit www.gibill.va.gov.
A fee of $150.00 is due upon becoming recertified. Recertification
fees are due no later than February 1 after the 3rd year and must
be accompanied by the Certification Maintenance forms and supporting
documentation. Failure to submit the form and recertification
fee will result in inactive status. A CLSO or CMLSO who turns
in his/her form after the February 1 deadline must also submit
a $50.00 late fee.
