What is the basis for establishing application and renewal fees?

  1. The fiscal needs of the board

  2. A fixed rate set by state law

  3. The number of licensed PTs

  4. Competition rates among PTs

The correct answer is: The fiscal needs of the board

Application and renewal fees are established based on the fiscal needs of the board. These fees help cover the costs of regulating and managing the profession and are determined based on the financial needs of the board. This ensures that the fees are set at an appropriate level to support the necessary functions of the board. The other options, while they may have some influence on the fees, are not the primary basis for establishing them. A fixed rate set by state law may be a factor, but it is ultimately determined by the fiscal needs of the board. The number of licensed PTs and competition rates among PTs may also be considerations, but they are not the primary reason for setting the fees.
