One Hundred Ninth Legislature - First Session - 2025 Introducer€s Statement of Intent LB83 € Chairperson: Senator Brian Hardin Committee: Health and Human Services Date of Hearing: January 30, 2025 € The following constitutes the reasons for this bill and the purposes which are sought to be accomplished thereby: LB83 would have Nebraska join the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Interstate Compact. LB83 would ease licensure hurdles for licensed dentists and dental hygienists moving to Nebraska so they can practice and enter the workforce in a shorter period of time through granting a multi-state license and a shared database between Compact member states for background checks. Military spouses and others licensed in these professions that have moved to Nebraska will be able to enter the workforce sooner as well.€ € Principal Introducer:________________________________ Senator Victor Rountree - 1 -
