SCS/HCS/HB 1268 - This act modifies provisions relating to the Missouri Dental Board. Currently, a federally qualified health center shall register with the Missouri Dental Board and shall include where dental services will be provided and by whom. This act repeals a provision of law requiring, during registration, all licensed persons employed by or contracting with the health center to certify in writing to the Board that the facility meets the same operating standards as those of a facility of a licensed dentist.
This act also creates a dental faculty permit system to be implemented and enforced by the Missouri Dental Board. The act authorizes the holder of a dental faculty permit to practice dentistry without a Missouri license, but only within the course of teaching as part of an accredited dental school program. The holder of a dental faculty permit shall not receive any fee or compensation for the practice of dentistry except the salary and benefits received as part of his or her employment with an accredited Missouri dental school, college, or program. The qualification requirements for the permit are set forth in the act.
This act contains provisions identical to SB 1075 (2018), SCS/SB 950 (2018), and HB 1904 (2018), and is similar to SB 388 (2017) and HB 665 (2017).
