I do not understand this proposal and how it would work. Sounds like needless over regulation to me, and I question why Dentistry should have this burden when, as far as I know, Medicine, Law, etc do not have to repeat their jurisprudence equivalent exams.

1)  Is there a charge associated with this jurisprudence exam?  If so, how much?  Seems like yet  another "tax" to dentists.

2)  Why every 3 years?  Why not 5?  Why not longer?  If our regulations are changing so rapidly that we have to be subjected to an exam every 3 years, then we are being over-regulated.  The professional regulations should not be changing this fast.

3)  How will you take this exam?  Online or in person in Richmond?--Seriously, are we going to have to drive to Richmond every 3 years to take this exam?

4)  If it's online, will it be in the form of a Computerized Based Learning module, where you read the CBL text (changes in regulations) and then take an exam on computer, with something like an 80% passing grade requirement?

5)  What happens if you don't pass?  Is your practice shut down until you retake it?  When would be the next opportunity to retake it?--next day, one month, 6 months, a year?

I don't see how the Board can propose this without also proposing extensive details as to the mechanics of the proposal.
