Texas Register Preamble


The State Board of Dental Examiners (Board) adopts an amendment to 22 TAC §102.1, concerning fees. This amendment to the existing rule will clarify the biennial nature of renewals for several license/registration types, establish a standalone nitrous oxide monitoring category for dental assistants pursuant to 22 TAC §114.4, and enable the Board to assess appropriate fees in a responsive manner for the prescription monitoring program, Texas.gov internet portal, and query and monitoring of practitioners through the National Practitioner Data Bank. This amendment is adopted with no changes to the proposed text as published in the July 19, 2019, issue of the Texas Register (44 TexReg 3603), and will not be republished.

No comments were received by the agency after publication of this rule.

This rule is adopted 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, and Texas Occupations Code §254.004, which directs the Board to establish reasonable and necessary fees sufficient to cover the cost of administering the Board's duties.
