Under current law, the Division of Hearings and Appeals (DHA) in DOA is funded through a combination of general propose revenue (GPR) and certain program revenue (PR) received from other agencies based on fees charged by DHA for DHA's services. This bill repeals the GPR appropriation to DHA. Under the bill, DHA is funded exclusively through PR received from the agencies for which DHA provides services.
