Regulatory Compliance Division of the Office of the Governor commences a review of a rule or issues a determination letter on a rule under review. Established pursuant to Subchapter C, Chapter 57, Texas Occupations Code, the Regulatory Compliance Division conducts an independent review of certain state agencies’ rules that affect market competition to assess their consistency with state policy as clearly articulated by the Legislature in state statute.

-- Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, Title 22 Texas Administrative Code §§101.2, 101.3, 103.2, and 103.3 (RCD Rule Review #2022-010)

The division has approved the proposed rules which clarify that the clinical examinations required for the licensure of dentists and dental hygienists must use live patients or hands-on simulations.
