AI Summary
-
Oklahoma enacts the American Association of Dental Boards (AADB) Dental and Dental Hygiene Compact, enabling expedited licensure portability for dentists and dental hygienists across participating member states once five states join
-
Applicants must hold a full unrestricted license from a member state, have passed the ADEX exam (or equivalent regional exam if in practice 5+ years before January 1, 2026), graduated from a CODA-approved program, and have no disciplinary history or criminal convictions
-
Each member state dental board appoints two voting commissioners to the AADB Compact Commission, which has authority to promulgate bylaws and rules, establish fees, maintain a clearinghouse of adverse actions, and coordinate joint investigations between states
-
Active-duty military members and their spouses are exempt from Compact fees and may designate a home state without meeting the 25% practice requirement; military training records transfer to the repository without charge
-
Member states retain full authority to regulate dentistry within their borders and may take disciplinary action against Compact license holders; if a home state license is revoked or suspended, all Compact privileges are automatically placed in the same status
