HB 1074 removes the requirement that dental hygienists must have been actively practicing clinical dental hygiene for two of the previous three years in order to work under a dentist's collaborative supervision. The bill keeps other eligibility requirements in place, such as holding a valid license, having a written agreement with a dentist, and demonstrating knowledge of medical emergencies, infection control, and other clinical topics.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
