Jurisprudence exam
 

I feel that the administration of a dental jurisprudence test every 3 years tends to force practitioners who follow the rules as unnecessary.  For those of us who obey the rules and regulations, this retesting appears as a punishment.  Dentists who have erred in their following the laws and regulations might be put into a group requiring this refresher test.  The time limit might be as suggested for every 3 years up to 9 years post infraction, and then suspended.  The proposed law would be nothing more than an encumbrance. I hope my observation will be construed as a positive input.
