In response to questions by Senator Roeding, Mr. Reese stated that this administrative regulation and its $134 licensure fee only applied to private duty nursing agencies and did not apply to independent practitioners. The presence of supervision over the nurses determined whether a private duty nursing enterprise qualified as a regulated agency.

The Board proposed the fee increase to compensate for the rising operating, legal, and personnel expenses that the Board has incurred in regulating those professions.
In response to questions by Representative Lee, Mr. Munsie stated that the Board notified its licensees of the fee increases by contacting their state professional associations. The Board had not publicized the proposed fee increases in its biannual newsletter because the newsletter had already been mailed prior to the Board’s decision to raise the fees.
In response to questions by Representative Allen, Mr. Munsie stated that the administrative regulation increased the dental licensure renewal fee by $25 and the hygienist licensure renewal fee by $5.
Representative Lee made a motion to defer consideration of this administrative regulation. Without objection, and with the agreement of the agency, this administrative regulation was deferred.
