California Dental Corps Loan Repayment Program.

Under the Dental Practice Act, the Dental Board of California is responsible for the licensure and regulation of dentists. Existing law establishes the California Dental Corps Loan Repayment Program to assist dentists who practice in an underserved area with educational loan repayment pursuant to an agreement between the board and the dentist, as specified. Existing law requires the board to report to the Legislature, during its sunset review period, on the effectiveness of the program and recommendations for maintaining or expanding its operation. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that reporting requirement.
