In addition to any other fees, ALEA may charge an additional fee to recover the cost of obtaining boater safety certifications and terminal support equipment from the supplier. The fee may not exceed ten cents ($.10) over the actual cost of obtaining the necessary material from the supplier. Revenues collected under this section shall be used by ALEA for the sole purpose of this program and any excess shall revert to the State General Fund at the end of each fiscal year.
(c) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, if a person is issued a valid Alabama motor vehicle driver or learner license, or valid Alabama nondriver identification card at the same time as issuance of the boater safety certification, the certification shall consist of a notification on the driver or learner license or the identification card, at no additional cost for notification, that the person is also the holder of a boater safety certification. No additional fees may be collected or retained for the issuance of a boater safety certification under these circumstances. Any person may have a duplicate card issued, at the same cost as the original cost, for the convenience of the individual. The duplicate shall be marked “duplicate.”
