This bill amends the Wyoming Dental Practice Act to formally include denturists within the dental profession, thereby expanding the scope of practice. Key insertions in the bill define "denturist" and "denturitry," clarifying the roles of denturists in providing removable oral prostheses under the supervision of licensed dentists. The legislation also modifies the definition of "proprietor" to encompass those who employ denturists and updates the requirements for volunteer certificates to include denturists alongside dentists and dental hygienists. Additionally, it establishes a temporary educator's license for qualified individuals teaching at dental hygiene or denturitry schools.

The bill mandates that both dental hygienists and denturists renew their licenses every two years and allows the board to set rules and regulations for their practice. It includes provisions for the suspension or revocation of licenses under certain circumstances, such as criminal convictions or incompetence. The legislation appropriates $18,000 for administrative costs related to these changes and outlines the process for appointing denturists to the board of dental examiners. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with some sections becoming effective immediately upon passage.
