ROBERT B. HUNT
Clerk
Presented by Representative MASTRACCIO of Sanford.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  32 MRSA §18309 is enacted to read:
§18309.  Fees
1.  Fee establishment.  The director may establish by rule fees for purposes authorized 
under this chapter in amounts that are reasonable and necessary for their respective 
purposes, except that:
A.  The fee for any one purpose may not exceed $550 unless another fee is authorized 
by paragraph B or C;
B.  The fee for an initial license or a license renewal under section 18342 or a permit 
under section 18379 may not exceed $1,000; and
C.  The fee for an initial license or a license renewal under section 18345 may not 
exceed $200.
2.  Rules.  Rules adopted pursuant to subsection 1 are routine technical rules pursuant 
to Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.

licensing and permit fees and the authorizing authority to establish those fees by rule.  This 
bill reinstates the fee caps and authority but changes the authority from the Department of 
Professional and Financial Regulation, Board of Dental Practice to the Director of the 
Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation within the department.
