State Department of Public Health: dental program.

Existing law establishes the State Department of Public Health and sets forth its powers and duties, including, but not limited to, administration of provisions relating to disease prevention and health promotion. Existing law requires the department to maintain a dental program that includes prescribed components and to appoint a dentist licensed in California to administer the program. This bill would delete the requirement that the licensed dentist appointed to administer the program be licensed in California.
