STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10487
This legislative change will allow the board to increase
fees by rule in order to correct the board's deficit
financial position.
This legislation also allows the board the discretion to
apply discipline other than the suspension or revocation
of a license. This action is taken at the Deputy AG's
suggestion which will allow the board to enter into consent
agreements with licensees to assess fines and recover costs
rather than being forced to go through the hearing process
(which is more costly to both the board and the licensee;
typically $5 - $50 thousand).
This also allows the board to recognize examinations other
than it's own, when considering the applications for licensure
of persons already licensed in another state. Because the
board does not offer oral/practical examination, the change
also deletes reference to such exams.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund. An increase
in fees will be necessary by rule to meet operating expenses.
The overall estimated increase in annual revenue is $8,400 in
dedicated funds.
