Bill > H0123

This bill proposes to completely repeal Chapter 33, Title 54 of the Idaho Code, which relates to the "Freedom of Choice of Dentures Act" and effectively eliminates the legal licensing framework for denturists in Idaho. By removing this entire chapter of law, the bill would de-license the occupation of denturists, meaning that professionals who currently must be licensed to construct, fit, or repair dentures would no longer be required to have a state-issued license to practice. The bill includes an emergency clause and specifies that the repeal will take effect on July 1, 2025, which gives stakeholders in the denturist profession advance notice of the impending change in legal status. The practical impact of this bill would be to remove state oversight and regulation of denturists, potentially allowing anyone to provide denture-related services without needing to meet specific professional standards or qualifications.
