Also included are actual costs incurred for meals and necessary lodging.

b. The board may charge a fee not to exceed $75 for conducting a disciplinary hearing which results in disciplinary action taken against the licensee by the board. In addition to the fee, the board may recover from the licensee costs for the following procedures and personnel:
(1) Court reporter and transcript.
(2) Witness fees and expenses. The parties in a contested case shall be responsible for any witness fees and expenses incurred by witnesses appearing at the contested case hearing. In addition, the board may assess a licensee the witness fees and expenses incurred by witnesses called to testify on behalf of the state of Iowa.
(3) Depositions. Deposition costs for the purposes of allocating costs against a licensee include only those deposition costs incurred by the state of Iowa. The licensee is directly responsible for the payment of deposition costs incurred by the licensee.

(9)Assessment of fees and costs. A final decision of the board imposing disciplinary action against a licensee shall include the amount of any disciplinary hearing fee assessed, which shall not exceed $75. If the board also assesses reimbursable costs against the licensee, the board shall file a certification of reimbursable costs which includes a statement of costs delineating each category of costs and the amount assessed. Fees and costs that cannot be calculated at the time of the issuance of the board's final disciplinary order may be invoiced to the licensee at a later time, provided the board's final disciplinary order states that the fees and costs will be invoiced at a later date. The board shall specify the time period in which the fees and costs must be paid by the licensee.
(10)Board treatment of collected fees, costs. Fees and costs collected by the board shall be considered repayment receipts as defined in Iowa Code section 8.2.
(11)Failure to pay assessed fees, costs. Failure of a licensee to pay the fees and costs assessed herein within the time period specified in the board's final disciplinary order shall constitute a violation of an order of the board and shall be grounds for disciplinary action.
