Bill Summary

For legislation relative to dental hygienist reciprocal licensure. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the existing law to allow the Board of Dental Examiners to issue a dental hygienist license, without an examination, to individuals who have been lawfully practicing as a dental hygienist for at least five years in another state, country, or province. The applicant must present a certificate of registration and proof of the duration of their practice from the out-of-state board of dental examiners or another similar licensing entity. The key requirement is that the other jurisdiction must have competency standards that are determined by the Massachusetts Board of Dental Examiners to be equal to those required for applicants in the Commonwealth.
