Health Promotion Specialists v. SC Board of Dentistry
Annotate this CasePlaintiffs Health Promotion Specialists, LLC sued the state Board of Dentistry based on the Board's enactment and enforcement of regulations relating to certain procedures performed by dental hygienists in school settings. The Board was awarded summary judgment; Health Promotion appealed, arguing the circuit court erred by concluding: (1) the Board was immune from suit under the state Tort Claims Act; (2) Health Promotion could not maintain an action under the state Unfair Trade Practices Act because the Board was not a "person" and its actions were not within "trade or commerce;" and (3) Health Promotions could not amend its complaint. Upon review, the Supreme Court found the Board was immune from suit and affirmed the circuit court's grant of summary judgment.
