January 5, 2016
In the December 2015 eNews, the CDA notified members that the Colorado Dental Board would be undertaking a major review of dental rules and policies in early 2016. Several Dental Board rules were already reviewed as part of Sunset Review rulemaking conducted in early 2015. Now, the Dental Board is tackling all remaining rules and policies. Yesterday, the Colorado Dental Board announced dates for the upcoming committee meetings and rulemaking hearings. All dentists are invited to participate in the committee meetings and rulemaking hearings to provide input on needed rule clarifications and revisions. CDA members are encouraged to attend these meetings and hearings to provide feedback.
Below is a schedule of upcoming committee meetings and rulemaking hearings. All meetings will take place at 1560 Broadway, Denver, CO 80202. Specific meeting locations are included below.
Let the CDA know if you plan to attend any committee meetings so we can send you additional details about after hours building access. RSVP to jennifer@cdaonline.org or 303-996-2847.
Dentists who are unable to attend may submit written comments to maulid.miskell@state.co.us. Please email a copy of your comments to jennifer@cdaonline.org.
