RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B12-8.019: Security and Monitoring Procedures for Licensure Examination

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule repeal because the rule is no longer necessary because the examination is now being administered by a national company.

SUMMARY: The rule is being repealed because the examination is being administered by an national company and the rule is no longer necessary.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST: During discussion of the economic impact of this rule the Department, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary and that these rule amendments will not require ratification by the Legislature. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time. The rule will not have an adverse impact on small business, or likely increase regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within 1 year after implementation of the rule.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower regulatory cost alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
