This bill amends the Dentistry Practice Act to update standards for obtaining a license to practice dentistry in Nebraska and adopts the
Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact for a licensing pathway to create reciprocity among participant states.
Additional work would be required by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) within Program 178 – Professional
Licensure however the costs would be absorbed within current agency appropriations.
Applicants under the Compact, dentists and dental hygienists from other states, would be subject to criminal background check by
Nebraska State Patrol. NSP estimates needing an additional staff person to process the additional applications. The agency estimates
needing additional General Funds to supplement the cash fund revenue anticipated.
