This bill establishes a framework for issuing a licensed sedation provider host permit to dentists in Iowa. To qualify for this permit, dentists must complete a board-approved course, meet specific facility and equipment standards, obtain certification in advanced cardiovascular life support, and submit a prescribed application. The bill defines a licensed sedation provider as a physician, surgeon, or certified registered nurse anesthetist licensed in Iowa, allowing dentists with the permit to employ these providers to administer moderate sedation to patients aged 13 and older during dental procedures and to monitor them while sedated.

Additionally, the bill outlines the educational requirements for the approved courses, which must cover various topics such as patient assessment, emergency scenarios, and monitoring techniques. The board is tasked with reviewing these courses annually and ensuring they meet the established criteria. The bill also mandates the board to create rules for the implementation, expiration, and renewal of the sedation provider host permits, ensuring a structured approach to sedation practices in dental care.
