Most recently, lawmakers have been looking at the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, asking it to scale back proposed rules that would affect the use of dental support organizations. Some dentists use the groups for tasks including marketing, accounting and scheduling.Several lawmakers sent letters of concern to the board, saying they worry how the new rules could affect the overall dental industry.Krause was among them.“My concern is that the board is circumventing the Legislature’s intent in enacting these new rules and trying to go outside their bounds set by the Legislature,” his letter stated. “With the 84th Legislative Session [so close], I strongly recommend the Board refrain from its current course of action.”
