Justification of Requirements or Costs
Pursuant to
IC 25-1-8-2, fees shall not be less than are required to pay all of the costs, both direct and indirect, of the operation of the barber board. In 2005, the General Assembly enacted SEA 139 (P.L.194-2005) to give the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency and the boards, commissions, and committees it serves the authority to set fees by rule that had previously been set by statute. The proposed rule changes will not increase or decrease the number of small businesses already affected by the current regulations.
Consideration of Alternative Methods of Achieving the Purpose of the Proposed Rule
Since the rule provides no change in the amount of fees to be assessed to barber schools or barber shops, the consideration of alternate compliance or reporting requirements or other operational standards was not appropriate. There are no new reporting or record keeping requirements for small businesses as a result of the proposed rule.
Explanation of Determination
The Board sought to set fees at the minimum levels needed in order to comply with
IC 25-1-8-2.

The agency used the following data (from 2004) in determining the fiscal impact of the rule:
