Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled"Public health code,"by amending section 16605 (MCL 333.16605), as amended by 2021 PA 12.
AI Summary
This bill, which is tied to another bill (HB 4593 of the 103rd Legislature), amends the Public Health Code to prohibit the use of the title "dental specialist" by anyone not authorized to do so under the law, effective 90 days after the bill becomes law. The Public Health Code, or MCL 333.16605, already restricts the use of various dental-related titles, such as "dentist," "orthodontist," and "dental hygienist," to individuals who are licensed and qualified to use them, and this bill adds "dental specialist" to that list of protected titles.
