WISE, Justice.
We granted the petition for a writ of certiorari filed by the Board of Dental Examiners of Alabama (“the Board”) seeking review of the decision of the Court of Civil Appeals in Wilkinson v. Board of Dental Examiners of Alabama, 102 So.3d 362 (Ala.Civ.App.2011), in which the Court of Civil Appeals held that the Board was not a State agency and thus was not entitled to immunity pursuant to Art. I, § 14, Ala. Const.1901. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals.
