(a)The Board, pursuant to Occupations Code, Chapter
257, §257.001, Texas Civil Statutes has established a staggered
license registration system comprised of initial dental hygiene license
registration periods followed by biennial [annual]
registrations (i.e., renewals).
(b)The initial dental hygiene license registration
periods will range from 18 [6] months to 30 [
17] months. The length of the initial license registration period
will be determined by the licensee's birth month,
but will be no less than 18 months. The expiration of the initial
license will be based on the licensee's birth month. Initial dental
license fees will be prorated according to the number of months of
the initial license period.
(c)Prior to the expiration date of the initial dental
hygiene license registration period, a license renewal notice will
be mailed to all dental hygiene licensees who have that expiration
date.
(d)A license registration expired for one year or
more may not be renewed.
(e)An initial license expires on the 30th day after
the date the license is issued if the holder of the license fails
to pay the required license fee on or before that date.
The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed
the proposal and found it to be within the state agency's legal authority
to adopt.
