successful with the other Boards’ law and rule proposals.
She also reported that the new licensing system for the Bureau is up and
running well.
Mr. Hetrick presented the financial report
showing a positive balance of $12,150.25.
Discussion
was held on the investigative and legal process. The Board was advised that
since they are the ultimate judges regarding complaints, they must guard against
becoming prejudiced prior to formal hearings. The Bureau provides investigative
services for the Board. The Board
could assign one of its members to serve as a complaint liaison, but that member
would be recused from any future Board action and could not discuss cases with
the other members.
The Board was advised not to take calls or
inquiries concerning complaints and to direct all complaints to the Bureau.
Discussion was held on proposed law and rule changes:
Adopting ethical rules
Limiting the number exam re-takes without further education.
Al Lopez moved that when the exam is failed
the second time, the applicant cannot reapply for examination for one year.
Carla Wolfrum seconded the motion, motion passed.
The Board requests that all licenses
receive a new law book, done in the small format, and a pink card.
At this time there is no provision for when a license has lapsed to require continuing education to reinstate the license. The reinstatement falls back on the Bureau law.
Continuing
education requirements would have to be added to the reinstatement requirement.
Five applications were reviewed:
One applicant was approved for internship
Three applicants were not approved for examination/internship.
More information on education and/or experience is required.
One applicant was approved to retake the written portion of the examination.
Continuing education was approved for one licensee.
The next Board meeting will be held in
conjunction with the Denturitry Association meeting on September 6-7, 2002 at
the Owyhee Plaza Hotel. The Board
meeting will be on Friday morning starting at 9:00a.m.
The Association Convention will begin approximately at 1:00p.m. Friday
and 9:00a.m. Saturday.
Having no further business before them, the meeting adjourned at 12:30p.m.
