The fees provided by Section 55861 are maximum fees. The secretary may fix those fees at a lesser amount, and may adjust those fees from time to time, whenever the secretary finds that the cost of administering this chapter can be defrayed with those below-maximum fees. The secretary may appoint an advisory committee of producers and licensees to provide guidance in establishing those fees or may rely on input from any similar advisory committee already assembled by the secretary.
