Enforcement committee reports outreach plan and a cost‑recovery review; division cites enforcement hours and savings
Summary
The enforcement committee reported recent outreach with DCA public affairs, a scheduled mental‑health PSA and a multi‑year review of cost recovery efforts; staff reported investigation hours and an estimated cost recovery figure.
The board’s enforcement committee presented an update on outreach and cost‑recovery work. Committee chair Ken Maxey said the board completed an outreach schedule with Department of Consumer Affairs public affairs through August 2025 that includes a mental‑health public service announcement during Mental Health Month and messaging on intoxicated driving and cost recovery.
The committee is conducting a three‑to‑five‑year review of cost recovery to understand how organizational changes over the last three years affected collections and prepare for the next sunset review. Maxey reported that special investigators had spent 4,794 hours on cases related to DOI rejections and that this work had produced an estimated savings (cost recovery) of approximately $1,054,680 across about 200 cases.
The committee also used its time at the meeting to express appreciation for outgoing members and to call for continued outreach to encourage careers in nursing and psychiatric technician fields.
Next steps: The enforcement committee will continue its cost‑recovery review and bring findings to the board as part of sunset preparation.
