DEA License Posting Requirement
 

Please examine eliminating the requirement for dentists in the Commonwealth to display their DEA licenses.  With the prescription opioid epidemic in this country, easier access to a DEA license increases the potential for patients to use this number for illegal purposes and abuse.  Thank you for your consideration.
