OHIO STATE DENTAL BOARD BOARD MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 2009 PAGE 20 Motion by Mr. Jones, second by Dr. Kyger, to approve Ms. Smith’s reinstatement application for dental hygiene licensure in the state of Ohio. Motion carried unanimously. AD HOC BOARD OPERATIONS REPORT Dr. Kaye reported that the Ad Hoc Board Operations had held a special meeting on September 18, 2009 to discuss HB 215. He stated that the meeting had been well attended with representatives from Representatives Letson and Mecklenborg’s offices, the House Democratic and Republican Caucuses, the Ohio Dental Association, and the Ohio Dental Hygienists’ Association. He expressed his thanks to the Ad Hoc Board Operations members who were able to attend that special meeting. Dr. Kaye stated that a report from that meeting had been distributed to all the Board members for their use. He stated that the Ad Hoc Board Operations members had met again this morning. Dr. Kaye explained that the former report had been addressing HB 215 and that unfortunately that bill was no longer in existence due to the introduction of SubHB 215. Motion by Dr. Kaye, second by Mr. Jones, that the Board President, Dr. Armstrong, utilize former testimony and other information to formulate a position statement regarding SubHB 215. Discussion followed wherein Dr. Leffler stated that he would speak against the motion due to the fact that there are many unresolved questions that the Board does not have answers to, specifically the financial implications of some of the changes/recommendations that are involved. He stated that it is his belief that there is not a general consensus among the Board members at this time to make a position statement. In addition, he commented that he felt it was unnecessary at this time. Dr. Armstrong stated that it was his understanding that the motion was requesting that he, as Board President, formulate a new Board Position based on former discussions and testimony regarding HB 215. Mr. Lawrence spoke in favor of the motion due to his feeling that there is limited time to prepare a new Board Position in the event of the opportunity to provide testimony on the SubHB 215. He stated that the Board already has a general position on HB 215 and that SubHB 215 has not changed significantly that Dr. Armstrong could not use former testimony to develop a new position statement in regards to SubHB 215. Dr. Kaye spoke in support of the motion because he felt that the previous voting regarding HB 215 effectively expressed the Boards’ Position and that SubHB 215 has not changed substantially in that regard. He stated that the Board Operations members
OHIO STATE DENTAL BOARD BOARD MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 2009 PAGE 21 had met and gave a pretty extensive report regarding their discussions. Dr. Kaye stated that the testimony provided by Dr. Armstrong paralleled the decisions/discussions from the meeting. He stated that if there are some specific points of contention regarding SubHB 215 then the Board should state them now in order that Dr. Armstrong can move forward on a new Board Position. He concluded by stating that the vast majority of the Boards position have been previously approved. Dr. Armstrong stated that it was unfortunate he was unable to attend the Board Operations meeting earlier and commented that with regards to testimony he would be completely handcuffed without a current position on SubHB 215. He stated that with the Bill moving out of Committee he would only have three to four (3-4) days or at most a week to submit Board testimony on the new Bill. Continuing on, Dr. Armstrong informed the Board members that Representatives Letson and Mecklenborg expressed their appreciation with the fact that he, as Board President, was willing to testify to everything that Ms. Reitz had formerly expressed. He stated that somehow he had given the position more credence. Dr. Armstrong stated that at this point he would not like to go back without testimony or a position. Dr. Leffler commented that Dr. Armstrong did an excellent job in providing testimony and stated that he had read Dr. Armstrong’s testimony and felt it was very well spoken. However, he stated that he felt that there are some unresolved issues, that he is not opposed to coming up with a new position, but feels that Dr. Armstrong should be involved in those discussions in order to develop a new Board Position on Sub HB 215. Motion failed due to lack of majority. Dr. Kaye, Mr. Jones, Dr. Wallace, Dr. Armstrong, and Mr. Lawrence in support of the motion. Dr. Leffler, Ms. Staley, Dr. Kyger, Dr. Wynn, and Ms. Naber in opposition of the motion. Dr. Howard abstained. Dr. Hanners and Dr. Desai were absent.
