| The Board of Dental Examiners, affiliated with the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation, will require ongoing Other Special Revenue Funds allocations of $124,833 in fiscal year 2007-08 and $152,306 in fiscal year 2008-09 for one Investigator position and one Office Specialist I position and related all other to support the anticipated increase in administrative and investigative duties as a result of allowing corporations to engage in the practice of dentistry in the State. The Board of Dental Examiners anticipates additional dedicated revenues from licensing and other fees to be $18,875 in fiscal year 2007-08 and $20,425 in fiscal year 2008-09. It is not clear whether the Board will have sufficient revenue to support these ongoing positions without increasing licensing and other fees. | ||||||
