Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the dentistry examining board (board) includes six dentist and three dental hygienist members and, on December 31, 2002, the number of dentist members is reduced to five and the number of dental hygienist members is reduced to one. This bill eliminates the reduction of members so that, on December 31, 2002, the board includes six dentist and three dental hygienist members.
