. Any licensee may petition the director for waiver of
licensure fees or late payment penalties for the current fiscal year
based upon financial hardship. Prior to the granting of relief, the
licensee shall demonstrate hardship by production of appropriate
financial records. The director may, in his or her discretion, grant
all or part of the relief sought, but shall consider the
reasonableness of the relief in light of the other expenditures
undertaken by the licensee, giving particular scrutiny to the
licensee's own profits, earnings, or other compensation, and expenses
such as interest, mortgage, or loan payments, as well as noncash
expenses such as accruals and depreciation.
