What is the purpose of the division?

The purpose of the Division of Service Operations is to provide operational support to the department's professional boards and business units by serving as the primary source of interaction with the department's constituents.

How is the division organized to accomplish its purpose?

The division is organized into two units.
  • Bureau of Central Intake and Licensure processes applications and renewals for businesses and professions regulated by the department. The unit also collects and processes licensing revenues.
  • Customer Contact Center handles initial customer interaction by telephone, the department's web portal, e-mail, and the interactive voice response system, providing the public with access to department regulatory information.

Does the division effectively process telephone calls and applications?

In Fiscal Year 2021-22, the Customer Contact Center answered 58.13% of the calls it received, however, the performance standard was 90%. The department reports that failure to meet the performance standard was due to high attrition and vacancy rates. During the same year, 99.78% of the applications processed by the Bureau of Central Intake and Licensure were processed within 90 days, exceeding the performance standard of 98%.
