what is needed to cover agency expenditures. In fiscal year 2015, the board generated revenue of
$11,814,143, including more than $3 million from the professional fee paid by dentists directly to the
General Revenue Fund and the Foundation School Fund. Although the Legislature discontinued

for fiscal years 2013-2015 is included in Appendix A, Historically Underutilized Businesses Statistics.
