A summary of the proposed amended regulation and the economic impact follows:
K.A.R. 100-11-1. Amount.
The amendments to this regulation add application and renewal fees for Resident Active licenses and Reentry Active licenses and increases renewal fees for physician and chiropractors by $30.
The agency does not employ an economist. In the lay opinion of agency staff, those applying for a Resident Active or Reentry Active, or renewing such license, will be directly affected because they will pay a fee with the initial application and at renewal. Additionally, physicians and chiropractors will be impacted upon renewal of their license as there will be an increased fee by $30.
The Board of Healing Arts is comprised of eight physicians, three chiropractors, one podiatrist, and three public members. Our Board members are medical practitioners, business owners, and members of the public. This proposed amended regulation was discussed in an open Board meeting of which members of the public, business, and stakeholders could attend. Further, the agency is in communication with the relevant professional organizations in Kansas on the amendment and intends to comply with all public hearing requirements involved in the promulgation process.
