Summary
In Subsection R156-15A-231(4)(d)(i), added instructor fees for approved events that use grant money that have not been established previously by rule. The UBCC Education Committee has considered local and national instructor rates and recommends up to $150 per hour as a general guideline for approved fees reimbursed through a funding grant. The proposed rule also provides for rates that exceed $150 per hour to be further considered by the Committee for approval by the Division. In Subsection R156-15A-231(4)(h), maximum reimbursement rates for events that use grant money have not been established previously by rule. The UBCC Education Committee has recommended a maximum reimbursement rate of the lesser of $10 per student hour or the cost of all approved actual expenditures. In Subsections R156-15A-231(5)(a) through (d), the proposed rule change lists items that may be reimbursed by the Division above the maximum reimbursement rate, based upon the criteria established in Subsection R156-15A-231(4), and upon recommendation and approval of the Committee, to include: text books, code books, code update books, Division licensee mailing list, cost to upload continuing education hours to the Division's online registry, and reasonable advertising, printing and mailing costs. In Subsection R156-15A-231(9), the proposed amendment establishes that if an approved event or joint event is not held, no amount is reimbursable with the exception of approved costs as outlined in Subsection R156-15A-231(5)(d).
