  TITLE 22. EXAMINING BOARDS 
 Part V. State Board of Dental Examiners 
  Chapter 102. Fees 
  
  22 TAC sec.102.1 
 
  The State Board of Dental Examiners, adopts on an emergency basis new 
sec.102.1, concerning fees. 
 The State Board of Dental Examiners finds that state law requires an adoption 
of fees on an emergency basis. Recently enacted Senate Bill 18 re-created the 
State Board of Dental Examiners. The statute gives the Board authority to set a 
variety of fees. The statute requires fees for the processing of various 
applications. Due to the critical need to immediately begin processing 
applications, the Board adopts the fees on an emergency basis. 
 The new rule is adopted on an emergency basis under the Texas Government Code, 
sec.2001.034; Texas Civil Statutes, Article 4544, sec.1; Article 4545a, sec.1; 
Article 4545a, sec.2; Article 4550a, sec.1; Article 4550a, sec.2; Article 4551; 
Article 4551e, sec.5; Article 4551f, sec.6(a); Texas Health and Safety Code, 
sec.467.004; sec.467.0041. The Board interprets these statutes to give it 
authority to adopt rules setting fees.
