($((80.00)) 83.00), and pony rider ($((80.00)) 83.00). The

licenses: Owner ($((80.00)) 83.00), trainer ($((80.00))
83.00) and exercise rider ($((80.00)) 83.00). The total cost
of the trainer and exercise rider license would be $((122.00))
127.00. The cost of the owner license ($((80.00)) 83.00)
would be added to the maximum cost of multiple licenses
($((122.00)) 127.00) for a total license fee of $((202.00))
210.00.
Example three - A person applies for the following
licenses: Owner ($((80.00)) 83.00), vendor ($((122.00))

($((80.00)) 83.00) for a total license fee of $((282.00))
293.00.
In addition to the above fees, except for association volunteers (nonpaid) at Class C race meets, a $10.00 fee will be added to cover the costs of conducting a fingerprint-based background check. The background check fee will be assessed only once annually per person regardless of whether the person applies for more than one type of license in that year.
The commission will review license and fingerprint fees annually to determine if they need to be adjusted to comply with RCW 67.16.020.
