RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Division and Dental and Dental Hygienist Licensing Board are recommending this proposed amendment to assist in the implement of S.B. 202 which was passed during the 2012 Legislative Session. S.B. 202 amended Title 58, Chapter 69, to allow for licensure of dentist-educators.

Summary of the rule or change:

A new Section R156-69-302d is being added to clarify that submission of information maintained in a practitioner data bank as required in Subsection 58-69-302.5(2)(a)(i) means submission to the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB).

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a)
• Section 58-69-101
• Subsection 58-1-202(1)(a)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The Division will incur minimal costs of approximately $50 to print and distribute the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective. Any costs incurred will be absorbed in the Division's current budget.

local governments:

The proposed amendments only apply to applicants for licensure as a dentist-educator As a result, the proposed amendments do not apply to local governments.

small businesses:

The Legislature passed S.B. 202 during the 2012 General Session which permits licensure of dentist-educators. For those applicants who apply for the newly created dental-educator license, their submission to the NPDB will cost $16. The number of applicants for licensure as a dentist-educator is unknown, but the Division expects it to be a small number, probably less than ten applicants.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This filing implements a recent statutory change by defining the practitioner data bank where applicants for dentist-educator licenses must submit their information. No fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated beyond those addressed by the 2012 Legislative Session.
