Board of Dentistry technical updates (HF 35‑16) referred to Ways and Means
Summary
House File 35‑16, a Board of Dentistry bill with technical clarifications and updates (including adding dental therapy to licensure provisions and adding felony sexual misconduct as grounds for discipline), was presented and referred to the Ways and Means Committee.
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.
