AI Summary
This bill modifies the Mobile Opportunity by Interstate Licensure Endorsement (MOBILE) Act by adding a new eligibility restriction specifically for dental professionals seeking licensure by endorsement. Under the revised law, individuals applying for a dental or dental hygiene license will now be ineligible if they have not graduated from a dental school or dental hygiene college that is accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation (or its successor) or another dental program accrediting entity recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This change is added to the existing list of disqualifying conditions, which already include having pending complaints, criminal convictions related to healthcare, license revocations, or reports to the National Practitioner Data Bank. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2026, and aims to ensure that dental professionals seeking licensure in Florida meet specific educational accreditation standards.
