64B16-26.1001: Examination and Application Fees
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to provide an application fee for registered pharmacy technicians.
SUMMARY: An application fee for registered pharmacy technicians will be provided.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: A Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost has been prepared and is available by contacting Rebecca Poston, Executive Director, at the address listed below. The following is a summary of the SERC:
It is estimated that up to 51,000 would apply to be a pharmacy technician.
All initial and renewal permit applicants for the registration of pharmacy technicians will increase the number of applications processed under the contract.
Initial application will be a non-recurring transaction cost of $50.
The rule does not require small business to pay the application fee. If the small business chooses to pay the application fee, then the impact will be $50 per technician.
The proposed change is not expected to impact small business, small counties or small cities.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
