(the “Certification Application”), the “Nurse Practitioner Furnishing Number Application”(Rev. 3/2018) - (the “Furnishing Number Application”) and Application for Temporary Nurse Practitioner (NP) Certificate”(Rev. 3/2018)–(the “Temporary Certification Application”) require each listed fee to be set to the minimum statutory range per Business and Professions Code section 2815.  \nIn the Temporary Certification Application, the Board proposes a $150 fee for a temporary nurse practitioner certificate per Business and Professions Code section 2815, subdivision (o)(2) .  \nIn the Certification Application, the Board proposes a $500 fee for Certification as a nurse practitioner per Business and Professions Code section 2815, subdivision (o)(1) .  \nIn the Furnishing Number Application, the Board proposes a $400 fee for a Board issued furnishing number which allows the Nurse Practitioner to furnish drugs and/or devices pursuant to Section 2836.1 of the Business and Professions Code.  \nAmending section 1417 is necessary because existing laws authorize the Board to charge fees for initial licensure and certification applications. The Board is a self-supporting, special fund agency that generates its revenue from these fees. In 1991, the Board set fees at the minimum level of the range established statute. In 2010, the Board raised its fees for the first time in nearly 20 years to support the Board and enhance its enforcement functions. In 2015, the Board adopted emergency regulations to raise most fees to the maximum range in statute.  \nAfter SB 1039 (2016) was passed into law, the Board assessed appropriate fee amounts to be set, with most fees set to the bottom of the new statutory ranges. Subsequently, the Board has a separate proposed rulemaking package addressing these fee increases. The proposed fee increases in this rulemaking package are the result of those statutory changes, with the amended fees being similarly set to the bottom of the new statutory ranges.  \nThe financial health of the Board is determined by the months of average reserve available. The Board is currently operating with less than three months of reserve. The DCA Budget Office has stated that 11.5 months is an average reserve for most Boards and Bureaus which is about half of the 24-month maximum statutory limit prescribed in B&P section 128.5. While the revenue associated with the applications listed above represent a small percentage of total Board revenue (\u003C5%), they will contribute positively to the Board’s fund reserve if they follow historical trends of 20-30% growth. The table below shows the projected growth on revenue and how these fee increases will impact the Board’s fund reserve if assuming a 25% annual growth.  \n\n| Projected Nurse Practitioner Certification & Furnishing Application Revenue |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 |\n| Nurse Practitioner Certification* | $881 K | $1.1 M | $1.4 M | $1.8 M | $2.2 M |\n| Nurse Practitioner Furnishing | $896 K | $1.1 M | $1.4 M | $1.8 M | $2.3 M |\n| Total | $1.8 M | $2.2 M | $2.8 M | $3.6 M | $4.5 M |\n| Fund Contribution (months) | 0.5 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 0.9 | 1.2 |\n| Source: Quality Business Interactive Reporting Tool (QBIRT) |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Assumes 25% annual revenue growth with $3.8M total Board monthly operating expense. |  |  |  |  |  |\n| *Includes both Nurse Practitioner Certifcation and Temporary Certification applications. |  |  |  |  |  |\n\nRationale for Clarity  \n1480  \nIn proposed section 1480, subdivision (b) and ","cbCaiaY0qZwYn28e","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaY0qZwYn28e","pdf",323016,"English","# Subject Matter of Proposed Regulations\n## Sections Affected and Adopted\n## Rationale for Consistency\n## Rationale for Clarity","[{\"question\":\"What fees are being set for nurse practitioner-related applications?\",\"answer\":\"The supplement describes proposed fees for a temporary nurse practitioner certificate ($150), nurse practitioner certification ($500), and a board-issued furnishing number ($400), aligned to statutory minimum ranges under Business and Professions Code section 2815.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the Board amend section 1417?\",\"answer\":\"Amending section 1417 is necessary because existing laws authorize the Board to charge fees for initial licensure and certification applications, and the Board explains historical and recent fee adjustments to support its enforcement functions and fund reserve.\"},{\"question\":\"What clarity-related changes are being made in section 1480?\",\"answer\":\"The Board adopts new definitions for “primary health care” and “clinically competent,” adds clinical experience language to the definition of clinically competent, and defines “Lead nurse practitioner faculty educator” more precisely to refer to an individual rather than a group.\"}]","Advanced Practice Registered Nurses - Initial Statement of Reasons Supplement | PDF",1789977607,13]
