 10 mental health counselor as well. Application for such license shall be
 11 filed with the commissioner in such form and detail as the commissioner
 12 shall prescribe, and shall be verified annually by the applicant.

 14 shall be issued upon proof, satisfactory to the commissioner, that the
 15 applicant is presently a mental health counselor licensed to practice in

 18 section four hundred one of this article; provided, however, that an
 19 additional service charge of twenty-five dollars shall be charged for
 20 such plate on an annual basis.
