Beta

This bill would join Kentucky to 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 creates a shared commission to oversee the compact, handle disputes, and take disciplinary action when needed.

Who it may affect: licensed dentists and dental hygienists, and Kentuckians seeking dental care.
