Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Dental Practice Act. Makes change in a provision concerning the qualifications of an applicant for a dental license. Provides that an applicant must present satisfactory evidence that the applicant has either received a certificate granted by the National Board of Dental Examiners or successfully completed a clinical examination conducted by one of the following regional testing services: the Central Regional Dental Testing Service, Inc. (CRDTS), the Southern Regional Testing Agency, Inc. (SRTA), the Western Regional Examining Board (WREB), or the American Board of Dental Examiners, Inc. (ADEX) (Rather than "Pass an examination authorized or given by the Department in the theory and practice of the science of dentistry; provided, that the Department (1) may recognize a certificate granted by the National Board of Dental Examiners in lieu of, or subject to, such examination as may be required and (2) may recognize successful completion of the clinical examination conducted by approved regional testing services in lieu of such examinations as may be required"). Makes similar change in a provision concerning the qualifications of an applicant for a dental hygienist license. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the bill as introduced plus the following changes: Deletes the requirement that an applicant for a dental license shall present satisfactory evidence that he or she has received a certificate granted by the National Board Dental Examiners and adds the requirement that the applicant present satisfactory evidence that he or she has passed both parts of the National Board of Dental Examination in addition to successfully completing an examination conducted by one of the listed regional testing services; for dental hygienists, adds the requirement that license applicants present satisfactory evidence that he or she has passed the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination in addition to successfully completing an examination conducted by one of the listed regional testing services; for both applicants for dental licenses and dental hygienist licenses, deletes the American Board of Dental Examiners, Inc. (ADEX) from the list of regional testing services and adds the North East Regional Board (NERB).

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that the Secretary of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation may suspend a regional testing service if, after proper notice and hearing, it is established that (i) the integrity of the examination has been breached so as to make future test results unreliable or (ii) the examination is fundamentally deficient in testing clinical competency.
