Public Hearing on Proposed Fees for Services Provided and Costs Incurred by the Department of Commerce During Fiscal Year 2007

The Department of Commerce will hold a hearing on Thursday, December 1, 2005, at 9:00 a.m. at the Heber M. Wells Building, 160 East 300 South, Room 4A, Salt Lake City, Utah.

The purpose of the hearing is to obtain public comment on proposed fees which could be assessed for services provided and costs which would be incurred by the Department during Fiscal Year 2007. Subsection 63-38-3.2(2)(b) of the Budgetary Procedures Act provides that an agency shall conduct a public hearing on any proposed regulatory fee.

Background: Various divisions of the Department assess fees for licensure, registration, or certification of individuals and businesses to engage in certain occupations and professions. Many existing fees are unchanged in the proposed fee schedule which has been prepared for consideration by the Legislature during its 2006 General Session. Copies of those schedules will be distributed at the December 1, 2005, hearing.
