Plain-language summary
This bill would make Kentucky part of a multi-state agreement that allows licensed dentists and dental hygienists to more easily practice across state lines without obtaining a separate license in each state. It sets up shared rules for licensing oversight, discipline, and enforcement among participating states.

Who it may affect: licensed dentists and dental hygienists, patients seeking dental care, and the Kentucky dental licensing board.
