Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Pursuant to section
					 4531.1 of the Code, the following
					 fees are established:
(a) The initial
				  application fee for any applicant for approval of a new school or program for
				  preparation of psychiatric technicians is five thousand dollars
				  ($5,000).
(b) The final approval
				  fee for any applicant for approval of a new school or program for preparation
				  of psychiatric technicians is fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), unless the
				  institution is entitled to a decrease in fees as provided in subsections (c) or
				  (d), in which case the final approval fee shall be calculated as provided in
				  those subsections.
(c) The final
				  approval fee for any applicant for approval of a new school or program for
				  preparation of psychiatric technicians providing documentation of the criteria
				  of 4531.1(b)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, is five thousand dollars ($5,000).
				  Documentation shall include a signed and dated copy of the formal collaborative
				  agreement between the applicant institution and an approved school or program
				  that is in good standing, showing the applicant institution agrees to utilize
				  the curriculum and policies of the approved school or program. For the purposes
				  of this section "in good standing" means the approved school or program has a
				  current and active approval with no provisional approval.
(d) In accordance with section
				  2581, the Board shall provide each
				  institution an itemized invoice that shows the initial determination by the
				  Board of the reasonable costs for providing oversight and review of an
				  institution expressed in a total dollar value number. If the total dollar value
				  number for the Board's reasonable costs is less than the amount set forth in
				  subsection (b), then the final approval fee shall be reduced to that total
				  value number and reflected in the invoice provided to the institution pursuant
				  to section
				  2581.
(e) Unless the Board makes an initial
				  determination that the continuing approval fee should be decreased in
				  accordance with subsections (f) or (g) after receiving the application for
				  continuing approval, the fee submitted with any continuing approval application
				  required by section
				  2581 shall be five thousand
				  dollars ($5,000).
(f) The
				  continuing approval fee for any approved school or program of vocational
				  nursing which provides documentation with the continuing approval application
				  in subsection (j) of section
				  2581 for reduction in enrollment
				  capacity resulting in reduced state funding is two thousand five hundred
				  dollars ($2,500).
(1) Documentation required
				  for proof of reduction in enrollment capacity must be provided with the
				  continuing approval application in section
				  2581 and include a copy of the
				  school or program's class rosters for the current semester or term, and the
				  previous three consecutive semesters or terms, which demonstrate a cumulative
				  decline in enrollment of more than 10 percent.
(2) Failure to provide the required
				  documentation of reduction in enrollment capacity shall result in the
				  continuing approval fee of five thousand dollars ($5,000) to be assessed unless
				  the applicant also qualifies for a reduction in accordance with subsection
				  (g).
