HB 607 -- DENTAL SERVICES

CO-SPONSORS:  Treadway, Johnson (90), Holand, Richardson

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee
on Professional Registration and Licensing by a vote of 15 to 0.

Current law allows out-of-state licensed dentists and dental
hygienists to provide gratuitous dental services exclusively for
summer camps in this state for a period not to exceed 14 days in
any one calendar year.  This bill removes the limitation to
summer camps.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that currently gratuitous dental
services can only be offered at summer camps.  The bill expands
the statute allowing these services to be provided by other
organizations.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Holand; and Missouri
Dental Association.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
