Over the last several years, the board has experienced an increase in expenses in excess of revenue generated through board licensure fees. In providing administrative services to the board, the department has determined it is necessary to increase fees as proposed to ensure that the board can cover their operating expenses. The board decided to increase fees by 50 percent at this time to avoid another increase in the near future. The board estimates the proposed fee changes will affect approximately 455 applicants/licensees and generate $46,535 in additional annual revenue. 4. Concerned persons may present their data, views, or arguments either orally or in writing at the hearing. Written data, views, or arguments may also be submitted to the Board of Funeral Service, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O.

In addition, although the department strives to keep its web site accessible at all times, concerned persons should be aware that the web site may be unavailable during some periods, due to system maintenance or technical problems, and that technical difficulties in accessing or posting to the e-mail address do not excuse late submission of comments. 6.
