With all respect to the Board, I strongly oppose this legislation.  Why, I ask myself, should I be required to validate my understanding of the rules and regulations every year as you are proposing? This seems to suggest punishments which may be levied against dentists, of unknown severity and consequence, and no clear way to establish under what conditions or how the perceived failures will be identified or handled.  I feel that I keep up quite well with the system as it is already, and this proposal adds another useless, annoying level of bureaucratic meddling to my life. 

Please reject this proposal; I don't see any benefit which will come from implementing it, and forsee much of my valuable time and energy being directed towards fulfilling the letter of the law.  I simply do not need the additional stress,  and suspect there is a financial incentive behind this program, which will ultimately be borne by the dentists in Virginia.
