297 department shall provide for the proportionate allocation among
298 the accounts of expenses incurred by the department in the
299 performance of its duties with respect to each regulated
300 profession. If a profession has established renewal fees that
301 meet the requirements of subsection (1), has fees that are at
302 the statutory fee cap, and has been operating in a deficit for 2
303 or more fiscal years, the department may waive allocated
304 administrative and operational indirect costs until such time as
305 the profession has a positive cash balance. The costs related to
306 administration and operations include, but are not limited to,
307 the costs of the director’s office and the costs of system

324 costs incurred in the regulation of certified nursing
325 assistants. The department shall maintain adequate records to
326 support its allocation of agency expenses. The department shall
327 provide any board with reasonable access to these records upon

330 and allocated expenses related to the operation of that
331 profession. The board shall use these reports and the
332 department’s adopted long-range plan to determine the amount of
