§ 905. Training and education. 1. The commissioner of health shall
have authority to approve asbestos safety programs and shall maintain a
list of approved programs which shall be made available to license
applicants, certificate applicants and other interested parties upon
request. The commissioner of health shall promulgate rules and
regulations setting forth the criteria for approval of such programs,
the procedures to be followed in applying for such approval and any
other rules or regulations as shall be necessary and proper to
effectuate the purposes of this section and to comply with the
requirements of the Federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act and
any other applicable federal standards.

2. (a) The commissioner of health shall assess a fee of no more than
fifty dollars for each asbestos safety program completion certificate
requested by the training sponsor for each full asbestos safety program
and a fee of no more than thirty dollars for each asbestos safety
program completion certificate requested by the training sponsor for
each refresher training asbestos safety program, provided, however, that
in no event shall the cost of such certificates be assessed by the
sponsor against the participants.

(b) There shall be established within the special revenue fund-other
an asbestos safety program account. All fees assessed and collected
pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision shall be paid and
deposited into the asbestos safety program account established by this
paragraph for the purposes of offsetting the costs incurred by the
commissioner of health for the administration of asbestos safety
programs.
