If a manufactured housing dealer or manufactured housing broker has more than one place of business in a county, the dealer or broker shall make application, in such form as the division prescribes, for a certified copy of the license issued to the dealer or broker for each place of business in the county.
(B) The division of real estate may require each applicant for a manufactured housing dealer's license, manufactured housing broker's license, and manufactured housing salesperson's license issued under this chapter to pay an additional fee, which shall be used by the division to pay the costs of obtaining a record of any arrests and convictions of the applicant from the bureau of identification and investigation. The amount of the fee shall be equal to that paid by the division to obtain such record.
(C) In the event of the loss, mutilation, or destruction of a manufactured housing dealer's license, manufactured housing broker's license, or manufactured housing salesperson's license, any licensee may make application to the division of real estate, in the form prescribed by the division, for a duplicate copy thereof and pay a fee established by the division of real estate.
