Bill > H3880

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow the Board of Registration in Dentistry to register and issue a dental hygienist license, without examination, to a dentist who has been lawfully practicing for at least five years in another state, country, or province. The dentist must present a certificate of registration and duration of practice from the out-of-state board of dental examiners or other similar registration entity, provided that the other jurisdiction requires a degree of competency equal to that required in Massachusetts. This change aims to facilitate the licensure of dental hygienists who have experience practicing in other jurisdictions, streamlining the process for them to obtain a license in Massachusetts.
