MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • The Governor's Budget includes $2 million special fund and 12 positions for enforcement workload and $102,000 special fund and 1.5 positions for licensing workload. The increased workload is primarily driven by growth to licensee populations which has resulted in increased enforcement case processing time and license application processing time. These additional resources are intended to reduce those processing times as part of the DCA's Performance Based Budgeting effort.
