Fiscal Detail and Notes
Costs associated with allowing dentists and dental hygienists from Canada to be endorsed for licensure in Maine can be absorbed by the Board of Dental Examiners, affiliated with the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation utilizing existing budgeted resources.  The increase in dedicated revenues to the Board of Dental Examiners associated with license fees can not be determined at this time and will depend on the number of licenses issued to Canadian dentists and dental hygienists.
