The State Board of Dental Examiners (Board) adopts repeal of rule §110.8, concerning Provisional Anesthesia and Portability Permits, without changes to the proposed text as published in the October 13, 2017, issue of the Texas Register (42 TexReg 5630). The rule is being repealed to comply with SB 313's elimination of portability permits.

The Board received supportive comments from the Texas Academy of General Dentistry.

This rule is being repealed under Texas Occupations Code §254.001(a), which gives the Board authority to adopt rules necessary to perform its duties and ensure compliance with state laws relating to the practice of dentistry to protect the public health and safety.
