HB 190-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to fees for dental hygienists.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Board of Dental Examiners states this bill would increase state general fund revenues by $1,275 in FY 2010, $23,070 in FY 2011, $2,550 in FY 2012 and $24,345 in FY 2013. This bill will have no fiscal impact on state expenditures or county and local revenue or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Board of Dental Examiners states this bill allows them to set and collect a fee (not more than $15) from dental hygienists for examination of applicants for licenses and for renewal of licenses to practice dental hygiene. The Board states there are 1,453 hygienists practicing dentistry in the State of New Hampshire in FY 2009 and approximately 85 new applicants yearly. Hygienists would be required to renew biannually. Given these assumptions the Department estimates the fiscal impact as follows:
