Bill > H4069

This bill establishes a Denture Technology Board to oversee the construction of dentures and related dental appliances, defining key terms like "Board" (the Denture Technology Board), "Denture Laboratories" (places where denture services are performed), and "Denture-related service" (which includes the construction, repair, and fitting of various dental prosthetics like dentures, bridges, and false teeth). The bill proposes creating an 11-member board appointed by the governor, comprised of licensed denturists, dentists, and public representatives, to certify denture laboratories. Furthermore, it mandates that the Department of Public Health, in collaboration with the Denture Technology Board, will create rules and regulations for licensing individuals involved in constructing dentures, including health and safety standards for the laboratories where these devices are made.
