Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of Bill SB 2071, the language surrounding the fees that the board of counselor examiners can collect has been clarified and streamlined. Specifically, the section on setting fees for various services now distinctly lists out the specific fees related to filing applications, renewing licenses, issuing duplicates, and technology services. This change is important because it clarifies the board's financial operations, making it easier to understand the fees associated with licensing and ensuring transparency for those seeking counseling credentials.
