a cap on the examination fee.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no impact on General funds. There will be no fiscal
impact on Dedicated funds until rules are passed. The additional
amount that would be realized at that time if the entire fee cap
was requested would be an approximate increase of $1200.00 per
year.
This fee will allow the Board to recover development costs and
cover administrative costs.
