SB 1109 establishes the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact to streamline interstate practice and mobility for licensed professionals in these fields. It creates a mechanism for dentists and dental hygienists licensed in one participating state to obtain a Compact Privilege to practice in other member states without redundant licensing requirements. The bill emphasizes public safety, facilitates information sharing on licensing and disciplinary actions, and includes provisions for accommodating military members and spouses. The Compact establishes a governing commission with authority over its operations and allows member states to impose fees and enforce rules. The legislation aims to enhance workforce flexibility while maintaining regulatory standards​.
