All Other costs to manage the anticipated increase in applicants for

The Maine Board
of Pharmacy within the Office of Professional and Occupational Licensing has
sufficient resources available to support the cost of this legislation
without raising fees through the 2022-2023 biennium. However, fees may need to be increased in
future biennia if the current fee structure does not generate sufficient
revenue to cover the cost of this legislation. |
