VI. Cost Analysis
a. Estimate of Compliance Costs for Regulated Entities – The proposed rule will decrease costs and time of obtaining continuing education for practitioners who choose a virtual option for the allowable 12 of the 40 hours required per biennium. As stated in Section V(c) above, the Board anticipates that these Indiana optometrists can save as much as $360-480 or in aggregate, as much as $556,920 - $742,560 per renewal cycle by choosing to perform their continuing education virtually, which may be free of charge.
