Sec. 258.155. ANNUAL PERMIT

(a) Not later than September 1, 2002, the board shall require each dentist who enterally administers anesthesia or performs a procedure for which anesthesia is enterally administered to annually obtain a permit from the board by completing a form prescribed by the board. The board shall set and impose a fee for the permit in an amount designed to recover the costs of regulating a permit holder under this subchapter.

(b) The board shall coordinate the times at which a permit must be renewed with the times at which a dentist's license must be renewed under Chapter 257 so that the times of registration, payment, notice, and imposition of penalties for late payment are similar and provide a minimum of administrative burden to the board and to dentists.
