AI Summary
This bill, relating to the Freedom of Choice of Dentures Act, amends existing Idaho law to adjust the fees charged by the board, which is likely a regulatory body overseeing dental professionals. Specifically, it increases the maximum application fee, which covers the cost of an examination, from $300 to $1,000; raises the maximum initial license fee from $600 to $1,000; and establishes a biennial (meaning every two years) renewal fee of up to $2,500, an increase from the previous maximum of $2,000. The bill also declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026, meaning these new fee structures will take effect on that date.
