- Approval to proceed with proposed regulatory text amending CCR Title 16 §1005 (infection-control minimum standards) and to transmit the draft to the Dental Hygiene Board of California for review. Motion (as moved by Alan Felsenfeld) authorized staff to submit the draft to DCA and the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency and, if no adverse comments are received, to proceed with the 45‑day public-comment period and complete the rulemaking. Motion passed on roll call (yes: Chan, Chang, David, Felsenfeld, Forge, Lareen, Medina, Olague, U; absent: Sakhur).</p>
- Denial of renewal of a moderate sedation permit for permit holder identified as EP (agenda item 14b).

The board approved the committee’s recommendation and set the conditions for any future application: prior board approval, completion of 24 hours of remedial education in the administration of moderate sedation (including recognition and management of medical emergencies in an outpatient dental setting), and a passing on-site inspection and evaluation. Motion passed on roll call (yes: Chan, Chang, David, Felsenfeld, Forge, Lareen, Medina, Olague, U; absent: Sakhur).
Each of these items is recorded in the official minutes for May 14, 2025. The board recessed the open session and convened to closed session at the end of the day; no other formal votes were recorded in open session.
