Changes to Fees for FSL Programs  DOH Pub #505-020

The Department of Health is required by law to charge fees sufficient to cover the full cost of program operations. The programs are entirely supported through fees, and have no other funding sources.   Fee studies were conducted to determine if current fees were sufficient to cover program costs. The Department determined an increase of 2.82% (within Initiative 601 limits) was needed. Initiative 601 (I-601) defines the spending limits.
