12Nor does any such requirement arise from the ALR statute
or implementing regulations brought to our attention by the
plaintiffs. The plaintiffs assert that segregation of fees for
ALR-specific intake services is required by language in the ALR
statute permitting services to "be offered . . . on a fee for
service basis," G. L. c. 19D, § 13, and the regulation requiring
ALRs to provide "[a] clear explanation of the services included
in any fees, a description and itemization of all other bundled
services as well as an explanation of other services available
at an additional charge," 651 Code Mass. Regs. § 12.08(2)(a)(9).
The plaintiffs' assertion has no apparent grounding in the plain
language of these provisions, which, as relevant here, simply
permit the charging of, and require a clear and itemized
explanation of, certain fees -- without stating any restrictions
on how an ALR must segregate funds raised through the fees.
