Title 49—PROFESSIONAL AND VOCATIONAL STANDARDS

STATE BOARD OF DENTISTRY

[ 49 PA. CODE CH. 33 ]

Corrective Amendment to 49 Pa. Code § 33.205(d) (2)(ii)

[40 Pa.B. 1082]
[Saturday, February 27, 2010]

 The State Board of Dentistry has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 49 Pa. Code § 33.205(d)(2)(ii) (relating to practice as a dental hygienist), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau, and the official text published at 39 Pa.B. 6982, 6992 (December 12, 2009) and codified in the February, 2010 Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 423), and as currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. The professional services in subsection (d)(2)(ii) should have referred to subsection (a)(2)—(6).

 Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The State Board of Dentistry has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 49 Pa. Code § 33.205(d)(2)(ii). The corrective amendment to 49 Pa. Code § 33.205(d)(2)(ii) is effective December 12, 2009, the date the defective official text appeared in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 The correct version of 49 Pa. Code § 33.205(d)(2)(ii) appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation.
