Board discusses lowering intern extension fee, weighing parity with reciprocity applications
Summary
Members discussed reducing the intern extension fee (currently $150) to lower amounts—options included $50 or $75—and considered raising reciprocity application fees to preserve parity; Joelle McNutt said 82 intern renewals generated $12,300 last year.
The Board reviewed NAC 641A.105 concerning intern extension fees and reciprocity application costs. Executive Director Joelle McNutt provided fiscal context: 82 intern renewals last year generated $12,300 in revenue. Members suggested lowering the intern extension fee (currently $150) to $50–$75 and discussed whether to increase endorsement/reciprocity application fees to maintain revenue parity.
Sara Pelton and Marta Wilson favored reducing the extension fee to ease financial barriers for interns; Joelle said the office could likely absorb the revenue loss. The Board did not adopt final fee language at the meeting but discussed options including setting endorsement at $150, reciprocity at $60, and intern renewal at $50 to balance equity and budget.
