The Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC) states that the creation of new license types could lead to indeterminable additional costs between $10,000 to $100,000 for processing applications and may require third-party testing contracts for licensure examinations. However, it could also generate additional revenue for the OPLC through fees. Although the Office already has staff to handle licensing for the Board, it is impossible to determine how many optometrists will seek one or more of these new license types.\nIt is assumed that any fiscal impact would occur after FY 2026.\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\nOffice of Professional Licensure and Certification", "in_text": [{"date": "7Jan2026", "short": "2969h", "num": "2025-2969h"}, {"date": "7Jan2026", "short": "0032h", "num": "2026-0032h"}], "chars": 6545}, "nver": 4, "namd": 2, "rsa": {"RSA 327": "/laws/327", "RSA 541-A": "/laws/541-a"}, "amends": {"RSA 327": "/laws/327"}}
