In order to practice his or her profession in this state thereafter, the person may, at the discretion of the board, be considered as a new applicant and subject to examination and other licensing requirements as an original applicant.
(3) The secretary or executive director shall faithfully account for all monies received by the board. All fees and any other monies received by the board, except monetary penalties collected under Section 73-9-61, shall be deposited in a special fund that is created in the State Treasury and shall be used for the implementation and administration of this chapter when appropriated by the Legislature for that purpose.

The receipt of that compensation shall not entitle members of the board to receive or be eligible for any state employee group insurance, retirement or other fringe benefits. Any fees or income other than the maximum allowable for examining applicants for licensure as set out above shall be accounted for and may be used as needed in carrying out the provisions of this chapter.
(5) A portion of the fee charged for license renewal of dentists and dental hygienists may be used to support a program to aid impaired dentists and/or dental hygienists. The payment of per diem and expense for attending board meetings shall be in addition to the compensation permitted above for examining applicants for licensure, and the per diem shall not exceed the amount provided in Section 25-3-69.
