Summary

Licensing committee recommended reissuing a revoked registration with conditions, denied several exception requests where statutory requirements were unmet, granted one limited credentials exception and approved an alternative continuing-education accommodation for a licensee undergoing cancer treatment.

The Licensing Committee met mid‑day to consider individual licensing matters. After hearing from the applicant, the committee found that reissuing a previously revoked registration (applicant identified in the record as Zuchi) would be in the public interest and recommended reissuance under a five‑year probated suspension; staff will send a proposed consent order to the applicant for signature and schedule ratification.

Separately the committee considered multiple exception and credentials requests. A foreign‑graduate credentials exception was denied for an applicant lacking required documentation; a hygienist (Renee Mayora) received a committee recommendation to grant an exception and will be considered by the full board. An applicant missing an OSI clinical component (Jessica Ruga) was told the OSI is required and the committee denied the waiver request; licensing staff outlined temporary licensure and alternate paths. Finally, the committee approved an alternative continuing‑education accommodation for Dr. Adami, who submitted medical documentation related to cancer treatment and requested ability to complete CE online for the current renewal period.
