Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the department of health and family services provides $40,000 in general purpose revenues annually under contract for administration of the donated dental services program. Under this program, dentists voluntarily provide comprehensive dental care, without charge, to disabled, aged, and medically compromised persons.

This bill increases the annual funding for administration of the donated dental services program to $60,000.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
