Support Repeal of Fee Requirements
 

I support the proposed fast-track repeal of the Fee Requirements for Processing Applications (8VAC20-830). The fees associated with application processing place an added financial burden directly on providers, diverting resources that could otherwise be used to support staffing, program quality, and operations. In a field already facing significant financial and workforce challenges, reducing unnecessary administrative costs is a meaningful and necessary step. This repeal would help alleviate operational strain and better position providers to focus on delivering high-quality care and education.
