An Act Regarding The Establishment Of Fees And Fee Caps For Dental Provider Licensing And Permits

This bill (LD 448) reinstates fee caps for dental provider licensing and permits in Maine, which were accidentally repealed by prior law. It sets specific limits: $1,000 maximum for initial licenses or renewals (under sections 18342/18379), $200 for certain licenses (section 18345), and $550 for other fees. The bill directly affects dental professionals applying for or renewing licenses in Maine. It transfers authority to set these fees from the Board of Dental Practice to the Director of the Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation. The changes ensure fees remain capped at specified levels for licensing and permit applications.
