HF 3001 Summary

• Enacts a dentist and dental hygienist compact to allow licensed dentists and dental hygienists from participating states to practice in other participating states through a "compact privilege" without obtaining separate state licenses.

• Establishes a multi-state commission to oversee the compact, manage a centralized data system tracking licensure and disciplinary information, and promulgate rules governing interstate practice.

• Requires participating states to accept national board examinations, graduates from accredited dental programs, criminal background checks, and continuing professional development as conditions for participation.

• Grants remote states authority to regulate practitioners using the compact privilege within their borders and take disciplinary action, with adverse actions in one state affecting eligibility in all other participating states.

• Creates exemptions for active military members and their spouses from commission fees and allows reduced fees by remote states; requires the compact to take effect when seven states have enacted it.
