The proposed bill establishes a dentist and dental hygienist compact in Minnesota, enabling licensed professionals to practice across participating states without additional licensing requirements. This compact aims to improve public access to dental services, address workforce shortages, and facilitate the relocation of military members and their spouses. Key components include the creation of a commission to oversee the compact's implementation, the sharing of licensure and disciplinary information, and the authority for participating states to regulate dental practices within their borders. The bill also outlines the requirements for states to join the compact, including maintaining a data system for licensees and compliance with regulatory standards.

Additionally, the bill introduces amendments to existing laws, such as exempting active military members and their spouses from fees for compact privileges, while allowing remote states to charge reduced fees. It clarifies the authority of participating states to impose adverse actions against licensees and establishes procedures for joint investigations. The commission will oversee the compact's administration, ensuring transparency through public meetings and accurate financial records. The bill also mandates the creation of a coordinated database for licensure and adverse actions, outlines dispute resolution processes, and specifies the effective date of the compact, which will take effect once enacted by the seventh participating state.
