1. The real estate recovery revolving fund established within the state treasury by K.S.A. 58-3023, and amendments thereto, is hereby continued in existence. Such fund shall be used in the manner and for the purpose provided by this act.
2. At any time that the balance remaining in the real estate recovery revolving fund is less than $100,000 the Commission, without delay, shall assess each licensed broker a fee of $10 and each licensed salesperson a fee of $5. Such fees shall be deposited in the state treasury and credited to the real estate recovery revolving fund. If a licensee does not pay the assessment within 30 days from the date notice of assessment is mailed to the last residence address reported to the Commission by the licensee, the licensee's license may be suspended in accordance with the Kansas administrative procedure act until the assessment is paid. A fee of $15 shall be paid by the licensee to reinstate the suspended license. Fees paid to reinstate licenses suspended under this section shall be remitted to the state treasurer in accordance with the provisions of K.S.A. 75-4215, and amendments thereto.
