LD 906, Page 3 - 122th Legislature, FIRST REGULAR Session

After the requirements for a license renewal, including any

necessary continuing education, have been met, a renewal card of

the denturist's license must be issued, which the denturist shall

place beside or attach to the denturist's initial license.

Denturists who have not paid ~~as provided by~~ the renewal fee on or

before January 1st must be reinstated upon payment of a late fee,

to be determined by the board, of not more than $50 if paid by

February 1st. A license to practice is automatically suspended

on February 1st and may be reinstated, if approved by the board,

on payment of a fee to be determined by the board of not more

than $175. A new applicant who has paid the application fee

shall pay the biennial licensure fee if the applicant applies in

an odd-numbered year or 1/2 the biennial licensure fee if the

applicant applies in an even-numbered year.

SUMMARY

This bill provides the Board of Dental Examiners with the
authority to waive a personal interview and, instead, conduct a
telephone interview for applicants seeking licensure by
endorsement in cases where the applicant is serving on military
deployment overseas.

Current law allows dentists to administer general anesthetics.
The bill allows dentists to administer general anesthetics and
conscious sedation only with a permit issued by the board.

The bill clarifies language concerning the payment of license
renewal fees if an existing licensee applies late or if a new
applicant applies for licensure in the 2nd year of the biennial
license period.

Finally, the bill eliminates outdated language concerning
temporary denturist permits, which the board ceased to issue
after January 1, 2000.
