| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| The Board of Dental Examiners affiliated with the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation will require Other Special Revenue Funds allocations of $64,429 in fiscal year 2007-08 and $77,915 in fiscal year 2008-09 for one Office Specialist I position and related all other for costs associated with allowing dental hygienists to practice independently. The Board estimates additional dedicated revenue from licensing and registration fees to be $7,250 in fiscal year 2007-08 and $8,685 in fiscal year 2008-09. It appears that the Board of Dental Examiners does have sufficient resources within its existing funds to support the additional position without raising fees. | ||||||
