Why the Fee Adjustments?
It is important to note that the proposed fee updates were carefully calculated to align with the operational
needs of the Department. By increasing fees, DRE aims to ensure a sustainable financial model that can effectively support its functions.
The mission of the Department is consumer protection. To carry out this mission, DRE must ensure it has the necessary fiscal resources.
The Department protects consumers with stringent monitoring and oversight measures, which includes conducting thorough enforcement investigations, ensuring adherence to professional standards, and providing avenues for licensee redress in case of any complaint or audit findings.
