Bill Summary

Dental hygienist licensure; dentists eligible to practice in a foreign country or jurisdiction. Permits the Board of Dentistry to grant a license to practice dental hygiene to persons who are eligible to practice dentistry in a country or jurisdiction outside of the United States and who are graduates of a dental school or college, or the dental department of an institution of higher education, located outside of the United States that the Board determines is acceptable. This bill is identical to SB 282.

AI Summary

This bill allows the Board of Dentistry to grant a license to practice dental hygiene to individuals who have graduated from a dental school outside the United States and were or are eligible to practice dentistry in a foreign country or jurisdiction, provided the Board deems the foreign dental school acceptable. This expands the eligibility criteria for dental hygiene licensure beyond graduates of accredited dental hygiene programs in the United States, aiming to recognize foreign dental education and experience.
