(1) The department shall establish by rule the maximum total fee to be assessed for a basic daycare license which shall not exceed three hundred twenty-five dollars ($325) for daycare centers with more than twenty-five (25) children in attendance at any given time, two hundred fifty dollars ($250) for daycare centers with thirteen (13) to twenty-five (25) children in attendance at any given time and one hundred dollars ($100) for group daycare facilities. Criminal history background check fees shall be in addition, but at actual cost. No other fees shall be charged for each license period. The department may allocate the fees to daycare licensing administration costs as it deems appropriate.
(2)  The department is authorized to utilize Idaho child care program funds as otherwise allowed by law to pay for the costs associated with licensing of daycare facilities to the extent that fees collected from the facilities do not fully cover such costs. It is the intent of the legislature that licensing fees and Idaho child care program funds shall fully fund daycare facility licensing administration.
