The bill authorizes the Mayor of the District of Columbia to join the Interstate Dental and Dental Hygiene Licensure Compact, which aims to streamline the licensure process for dental professionals and enhance access to dental care across member states. It establishes a collaborative framework for state dental boards to share information on investigations, complaints, and disciplinary actions while retaining the District's authority to impose adverse actions on licensees. The bill also creates the Interstate Dental and Dental Hygiene Compact Licensure Commission, composed of state dental board members, to oversee the compact's implementation and operations, including the adoption of bylaws and the management of financial activities.

Additionally, the bill outlines the application process for dental professionals seeking Compact License Privileges, detailing eligibility criteria and the roles of Member State Dental Boards. It includes provisions for joint investigations, disciplinary actions, and the handling of fees for active-duty military members. The bill specifies the procedures for a Member State's withdrawal or termination from the Compact, requiring notification to the Commission and other states, and establishes rules for addressing the implications of such actions on license holders. The Compact will remain effective for six months post-withdrawal and will dissolve if membership falls to one state. The bill concludes with a fiscal impact statement and specifies its effective date following mayoral approval and congressional review.
