AB 1570 California Assembly · 2009-2010 Regular Session

Malpractice insurance: volunteer dentists.

Summary
Under existing law, the Dental Practice Act, the Dental Board of California is responsible for the licensure and regulation of dentists. Existing law provides for the Dental Corps Loan Repayment Program of 2002 in the Dental Board of California and the Dentally Underserved Account in the State Dentistry Fund for loan repayments to dentists serving in underserved areas. This bill would require the board, in conjunction with the Health Professions Education Foundation, to study the issue of its providing malpractice insurance for dentists who provide voluntary, unpaid services and report its findings to the Legislature on or before January 1, 2012. The bill would authorize the board to contract with an independent entity to conduct the study. The bill would authorize the board to expend funds from the Dentally Underserved Account to fund the study. By authorizing the expenditure of those funds for a new purpose, the bill would make an appropriation.
