The proposed bill establishes the American Association of Dental Boards (AADB) Compact, aimed at enhancing licensure portability for dentists and dental hygienists across participating states. It creates the AADB Compact Commission, composed of two voting members from each Member State Dental Board, responsible for overseeing the Compact's implementation, including rulemaking, enforcement, and dispute resolution. The bill emphasizes state sovereignty in regulating dental practices while promoting uniform licensure standards and information sharing among states. Key provisions include expedited licensure for military members and their spouses, a standardized application process for Compact license privileges, and a requirement for Member States to report adverse actions to the AADB Clearinghouse.

Additionally, the bill outlines the administration and operation of the AADB Compact Commission, detailing its responsibilities such as maintaining the Compact, establishing budgets, and enforcing compliance. It provides legal protections for Commission officers and employees, allows for joint investigations among member states, and sets procedures for addressing defaults and potential termination from the Compact. The bill specifies the eligibility for states to join, the enactment process, and the withdrawal procedures, requiring legislative action for repeal and notification to the Commission. It mandates that all Commission actions are binding on member states and establishes that the most current edition of the American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure will govern Commission meetings, with the act set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
