STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
As an independent Board, the Board of Denturity needs to have the ability to voluntarily raise their fees so that they can meet the costs of operation including those shared charges assessed against them for DOPL operations. The cost of the national testing is $1,000.00, so the cap on the application fee that has not had a cap adjustment since 1988 needs to be increased by the Board to cover those costs. Additionally, the Board believes they need to increase the Initial License fee cap to $1,000.00, and the biennial fee needs to be increased from $2,000.00 to $2,500.00. There are 25 licensed Denturists in the state of Idaho, and they agree that increasing these caps will allow them flexibility in fund planning so that they may remain solvent as a Board.
