Bill overview
This bill enacts the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact, allowing licensed dentists and dental hygienists in participating states to practice in other states that have also joined the Compact. To do so, individuals must hold an unencumbered license in their home state, meet any requirements of the state where they wish to practice, submit to an application process, and pass necessary examinations. The Compact also establishes a joint government agency, the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact Commission, to oversee the program, share information among participating states, and ensure public safety.
