Relates to permitting waiver of dental residency requirements for licensure in underserved areas under supervised practice

Summary

The bill lets qualified dental school graduates obtain a license without completing the usual one‑year residency by agreeing to work full‑time in a state‑designated underserved area. They must be supervised by a dentist with at least three years of practice within 75 miles, and the supervised period must last at least twelve months with required reporting and evaluation. The goal is to expand access to oral health care in rural and low‑resource communities.
