| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| Decreasing the initial and renewal license fees for applicants who are deaf may result in a minor reduction in dedicated revenue to the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation. Increasing the cap for initial and renewal license fees from $300 to $325, except for applicants who are deaf, may increase the amount of dedicated revenues collected from licensing fees. The net impact on revenues to the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation as a result of this legislation can not be determined at this time and will depend on when, and if, initial and renewal license fees for all applicants, except those who are deaf, are increased. | |||||||||
