    Economic Impact Analysis Virginia Department of Planning and Budget 18 VAC 60-20 – Regulations Governing the Practice of Dentistry and Dental Hygiene Department of Health Professions November 3, 2004 The Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) has analyzed the economic impact of this proposed regulation in accordance with Section 2.2-4007.G of the Administrative Process Act and Executive Order Number 21 (02). Section 2.2-4007.G requires that such economic impact analyses include, but need not be limited to, the projected number of businesses or other entities to whom the regulation would apply, the identity of any localities and types of businesses or other entities particularly affected, the projected number of persons and employment positions to be affected, the projected costs to affected businesses or entities to implement or comply with the regulation, and the impact on the use and value of private property. The analysis presented below represents DPB’s best estimate of these economic impacts. Summary of the Proposed Regulation Pursuant to Chapter 754 of the 2004 Acts of Assembly, the Board of Dentistry (board) proposes to adopt regulations for the temporary licensure of persons enrolled in advanced dental education programs. Estimated Economic Impact Currently, residents, interns and post-doctoral fellows provide dental services for the public in the dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), the only dental school in Virginia, and in outpatient dental clinics that are a recognized part of VCU’s advanced dental education programs.1 While residents, interns, and post-doctoral fellows have been working in those clinics, they have been unable to prescribe controlled substances without a license issued 1 The Department of Health Professions confirmed that VCU has the only dental school in Virginia, and that the only advanced dental education programs in the Commonwealth are associated with VCU.
