The section is proposed to address the stipulations of Texas Edu-
cation Code, 57.491 relating to Loan Default Ground for Nonre-
newal of Professional and Occupational License. The proposed
section states that the Board shall refuse to grant renewal of an
existing license to a licensee who has defaulted on a student loan
guaranteed by the Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation
(TGSLC), defaulted on a repayment agreement or failed to enter
a repayment agreement. The proposed section addresses the
conditions that must be met before an obligor who has not com-
plied in one of the enumerated ways may be granted renewal of
an existing license.
Mr. Glenn Parker, Executive Director, has determined that for
each year of the first five-year period the section is in effect, there
will be no fiscal implications for local or state government as a
result of enforcing or administering the rule. Mr. Parker has also
determined that for each year of the first five years the section is
in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the
section will be protection of the public health and safety through
enforcement of state law and regulation. There will not be an
effect on small businesses. There is no anticipated economic
cost to persons who are required to comply with the proposed
section.

CHAPTER 112. VISUAL DENTAL HEALTH
INSPECTIONS
22 TAC 112.1, 112.2
The State Board of Dental Examiners (SBDE) proposes amend-
ments to 112.1, Definitions, and 112.2, Visual Dental Health
Inspection. The provisions of 112.1 and 112.2 address visual
dental health inspections and the parties and purposes by whom
and for which visual dental health inspections may be performed.
The proposed amendment to 112.1 clarifies the parties who
may perform dental health inspections and introduces a limited
oral health evaluation as an additional category of dental assess-
ments. The proposed amendment to 112.2 permits certain den-
tal students and dentist employees of certain public health orga-
nizations to perform visual dental health inspections.
Mr. Glenn Parker, Executive Director, has determined that for
each year of the first five-year period the amended sections are
in effect, there will be no fiscal implications for local or state gov-
ernment as a result of enforcing or administering the sections.

years the sections are in effect the public benefit anticipated as
a result of enforcing the sections will be increased access to pre-
ventive dental care and data relating to dental health in the state.

anticipated economic cost to persons who are required to com-
ply with the proposed sections.
