Summary

The measure amends state law to delete language that prevents dental hygienists who receive Medicaid payments from seeking reimbursement from other insurance or third‑party payors. By lifting this restriction, public health dental hygienists could obtain additional revenue streams, helping sustain their services. It targets hygienists working in publicly funded oral health programs.
