and expenditures, performance measures, and recommendations to each board at least once a quarter.

33 professions reducing 79 fee types and two professions increasing three fee types. Last fiscal year the division
presented nine scenarios that resulted in four professions reducing 11 fee types.
MQA licenses qualified applicants in conjunction with the regulatory boards that oversee each profession.
