Additional costs
to boards within and affiliated with the Department of Professional and
Financial Regulation to implement the requirements of this legislation and
the ability of each board to absorb those costs without raising fees can not
be determined at this time. It is
unclear whether the $100 cap on fees that a board receiving an application
for an occupational license or government certification under this
legislation may charge to recoup its costs is in addition to a licensing fee
or the maximum amount a board may charge an applicant. If the intent is that the cap for all fees
is $100, then this bill may result in a reduction in revenue received by
boards from licensing fees as the current fee for some boards is above $100. |
