The Office of Financial Management has identified this bill as requiring a ten-year projection of increased cost to the taxpayers or affected fee payers.

Ten-year projection:

University of Washington:

As noted above, the profession of anesthesiologist assistant is relatively new. However, the license fees for this position are consistent with professions that have filled the same or similar duties. We therefore expect that any cash receipts from this bill will be very similar to what has been received under the current list of qualifying professions and that the fiscal impact is indeterminate but under $50,0000.

Ten-year projection prepared in consultation with the following agencies:

Department of Health
University of Washington
