The application fee for appointment is $60 and is nonrefundable.
The oath of office and signature are submitted with the application.
The county clerk receives the full $60 application fee from the Secretary of State.
No further fee is paid for the issuance of the commission after the application fee is submitted.
Correct Answer
C. The county clerk receives the full $60 application fee from the Secretary of State.
AI Explanation
Only part of the application fee is transmitted to the county clerk. Executive Law §131 provides that the Secretary of State receives the $60 nonrefundable application fee and transmits $20 apportioned from that fee to the county clerk. For contrast, the exam fee is a separate $15 testing charge under the exam notice, not part of the commission fee.
