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. Under the previous estimate of scope of over 600 dental hygienists per year, NSP estimated needing an 
additional staff person to process the additional applications. The corrected estimate of scope estimates approximately 60 hygienists 
per year which can be accommodated 	within current agency resources.   Please complete ALL (5) blanks in the first three lines. 	2025
