This bill updates the licensing rules for dentists and dental therapists in Arizona, primarily focusing on renewal procedures and administrative requirements. It mandates that these professionals renew their licenses every three years by submitting an application and paying a fee, while also requiring them to affirm compliance with continuing education rules. The legislation introduces specific penalties for failing to notify the board of address changes or for operating multiple practice locations without duplicate licenses. Additionally, it clarifies the process for reinstating expired licenses and outlines reduced fees and requirements for retired or disabled practitioners.
