The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6569, aims to amend section 20-112a of the general statutes to establish a requirement for expanded function dental assistants who have completed their educational programs in other states. Specifically, the bill mandates that these dental assistants must pass a jurisprudence assessment before they are allowed to practice in the state. This requirement is intended to ensure that all dental assistants meet the necessary legal and professional standards to provide essential oral health care to residents.

The bill reflects a commitment to enhancing the dental workforce in the state by ensuring that expanded function dental assistants, regardless of where they were trained, are adequately prepared to operate within the legal framework of Connecticut. The insertion of the new requirement for a jurisprudence assessment is a significant change, while no deletions from current law are noted in the text provided.
