AI Summary

This bill seeks to regulate the licensure of equine dentists in Massachusetts. It defines an "equine dental practitioner" as either a veterinarian or someone certified by the International Association of Equine Dentistry. The bill establishes a registration process for equine dental practitioners, including an application, a fee, and examination by the state board. The board can refuse to grant or revoke a license if the practitioner is unfit or has been convicted of a felony. Registered practitioners must pay an annual licensing fee and meet continuing education requirements to renew their license.
