The department shall take into account any special arrangements between the state and a registrant, a licensee, another state, or a federal agency whereby the cost of the services is otherwise partially or fully recovered.
(c) The department may, upon application by an interested person, or on its own initiative, grant such exemptions from the requirements of this section as it determines are in the public interest. Applications for exemption under this subsection may include activities such as, but not limited to, the use of licensed materials for educational or noncommercial displays or scientific collections.
(d) When a registrant or licensee fails to pay the applicable fee, the department may suspend or revoke the registration or license or may issue an appropriate order.
