Bill > SB1616

This bill amends Arizona law to exempt recognized dental schools, dental therapy schools, and dental hygiene schools from certain registration and licensing requirements for business entities offering dental services, and clarifies that the State Board of Dental Examiners (the board) has no jurisdiction over individuals practicing under specific educational exemptions, while also making a minor correction to language regarding restricted permit applications for continuing dental education. Specifically, it adds these educational institutions to the list of entities not requiring registration as a business entity offering dental services, and clarifies that the board's jurisdiction does not extend to individuals practicing in the clinical departments or laboratories of these recognized schools under supervision, or for educational purposes within these schools. Additionally, it corrects a grammatical error in the section concerning restricted permits for dentists participating in continuing dental education, ensuring it accurately reflects the relevant exemption.
