The bill establishes the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact in New Jersey, enabling dentists and dental hygienists licensed in one member state to practice in any other member state without the need for individual licensure. This compact aims to streamline the licensure process, enhance mobility for practitioners, and increase access to dental health care. It creates a commission composed of representatives from member state dental boards to oversee the compact's administration, enforce compliance, and maintain a clearinghouse for sharing information regarding licensure actions and investigations. The commission will also prepare annual reports and has the authority to issue advisory opinions and establish standardized application processes.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the home state dental board in determining eligibility for compact licenses and includes provisions for military members and their spouses to facilitate licensure without additional fees. Licensees must comply with the laws of the member state where they practice and will be subject to that state's dental board jurisdiction. The compact will remain effective as long as there are at least two member states, with specific procedures for withdrawal and dissolution. The bill also mandates that all member states submit relevant dental board actions to the commission's clearinghouse, ensuring transparency and cooperation among states.
