Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:
Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 1208 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CERTIFICATION AND LICENSURE FEES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Requiring the Department of Human Services to gather data and recommend reasonable fees rather than determine fees, to be adopted by rule, for the licensure of community-based case management programs, nurse aides, community-based foster homes, and adult day care centers;
(2) Deleting the mandates that Department of Health adopt rules for fee collection procedures applicable to community-based case management agencies and community care foster homes;
(3) Deleting the requirement for the Department of Health to adopt fees set by the Department of Human Services for programs transferred from the Department of Human Services; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1208, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1208, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
