(a)  The fees or charges required to accompany an application for the issuance or renewal of any license pursuant to Section 1300 of the Business and Professions Code or pursuant to Sections 1616 or 1639.5 shall be adjusted annually pursuant to Section 1300.2 of the Business and Professions Code. The fees or charges subject to adjustment pursuant to this subdivision shall be the fees or charges that would have been payable in the prior calendar year without regard to the provisions of subdivision (b).
