Board of Dentistry technical updates (HF 35‑16) referred to Ways and Means

Representative Schumacher introduced House File 35‑16 on behalf of the Board of Dentistry. Bridget Anderson (executive director, Board of Dentistry) described the bill as largely technical updates that align terminology with accrediting bodies, add dental therapy licensure provisions consistent with other dental professions, and update continuing education waiver language. The bill also adds felony criminal sexual misconduct to the grounds for discipline to strengthen public protection. The committee had no further amendments and recommended referral to the Ways and Means Committee.
