Bill Summary
An act relating to licensure by endorsement to practice dentistry and dental hygiene; amending s. 456.0145, F.S.; prohibiting specified persons from being licensed through the Mobile Opportunity by Interstate Licensure Endorsement Act; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends Florida's Mobile Opportunity by Interstate Licensure Endorsement (MOBILE) Act to add new restrictions on who can obtain a dental or dental hygiene license through endorsement. Specifically, the bill prohibits individuals from receiving a license if they have not graduated from a dental or dental hygiene college or school accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation or another accrediting entity recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This new provision is added to the existing list of disqualifying factors, which already include having pending complaints, being convicted of certain crimes, having a previous health care license revoked or suspended, or being reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank. The bill aims to ensure that out-of-state dental professionals seeking licensure in Florida meet specific educational standards. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving time for implementation and for professionals to understand the new requirements.
