RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B16-26.1003: Active License Renewal Fees

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to reduce the fees paid by pharmacists.

SUMMARY: The fee paid by pharmacist will be reduced.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

During discussion of the economic impact of the rule at its Board meeting, the Board, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary and that the rule amendment will not require ratification by the Legislature. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time. The Board has determined that this 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.
