   The Board is deleting three fees related to examinations from section 41.12. However, there is existing language throughout Chapter 41 that references the fees and examinations being deleted. The language appears in the following sections:

   Section 41.11(a)(4)--Licenses.

   Section 41.31(a)(1), (2) and (b)--Qualifications for taking licensing examination.

   Section 41.42(a) and (b)--Reexamination.

   To be consistent with the Board's proposal and to provide clarity to the readers of Chapter 41, the Board should delete the language pertaining to the fees and examinations that is no longer applicable from the above sections.
