summary

This amendment strikes the provision in the bill that proposed to allow dental students of a bona fide dental school or university to perform dental hygiene treatment in institutional and public health service programs and in private dental offices under the control of a licensed dentist. It adds a requirement for the Board of Dental Examiners to submit a report by January 15, 2014 to the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development on how the dental services performed by dental students under the provisions of the resolve will increase access to dental care in the underserved areas of the State, the number of private dental offices that will be participating and how the patients will be screened for treatment by dental students in the private dental offices. It authorizes the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development to submit a bill related to this report to the Second Regular Session of the 126th Legislature.
