CHAPTER 104
H.P. 1490 - L.D. 2128
Resolve, Regarding Public Health Supervision of Dental Hygienists
Sec. 1. Rule amendment regarding public health supervision of dental hygienists. Resolved: That, by January 1, 2001, the Board of Dental Examiners shall amend the rule regarding public health supervision of dental hygienists in order to provide less restrictive public health supervision of dental hygienists. The rule must be consistent with current standards of patient care and must maintain a supervisory relationship with a dentist licensed in the State. The rule must provide that a dental hygienist practicing under public health supervision in an institutional setting may be directly employed and compensated by the institution for which services are being provided. The purpose of the rule change is to encourage greater utilization of services in institutional, public health and other settings outside a dental office. Rules adopted pursuant to this section are routine technical rules as defined in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter II-A.
Effective August 11, 2000, unless otherwise indicated.
