Committee adopts substitute and reports bill allowing Delta Dental to offer continuing-education courses
Summary
House Bill 4,910 (substitute H‑1) would let Delta Dental provide courses that count toward required continuing education for dental professions; the committee adopted the H‑1 substitute and reported the bill with recommendation by recorded roll calls.
Representative Borton told the committee that House Bill 4,910 would expand continuing-education options by allowing Delta Dental to provide courses that count for licensure-required continuing education. "This legislation is short and sweet," Borton said, describing the change as a way to cut red tape and simplify licensure and continuing-education requirements.
Committee members confirmed the existence of substitute H‑1, which would permit Delta Dental to provide continuing education and include a 12‑month enactment period. Vice Chair Aragona moved to adopt substitute H‑1; the clerk recorded a roll call and reported 9 yeas, 0 nays, and 0 pass. Representative DeBoer then moved to report the bill with recommendation as substitute H‑1; the clerk again recorded a roll call with 9 ayes, 0 nays, and 0 pass and the bill was reported with recommendation.
No technical or fiscal objections were raised in the committee discussion recorded in this hearing; members characterized the bill as reducing regulatory burden on providers and licensees.
