How many days after final approval must any rule adopted by the Board be distributed to licensed dentists and hygienists?

The correct timeframe for distributing any rule adopted by the Board to licensed dentists and hygienists is 30 days after final approval. This requirement is crucial for ensuring that all individuals within the dental profession are adequately informed about new or altered regulations affecting their practice. The 30-day notice period allows professionals to prepare for compliance with the new rules, understand their implications, and incorporate any necessary changes into their practices.

This systematic approach aims to maintain high standards of practice while providing sufficient time for professionals to adjust and comply with updated regulations. Keeping dental practitioners well-informed is important for public health and safety, making adherence to this timeline necessary for the effective governance of the profession.
