H 495 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

DENTURITRY – Amends and adds to existing law to consolidate provisions regarding denturitry licensure.

This bill consolidates Idaho's denturist licensure regulations into a single, updated framework. It directly affects denturists (professionals who make and fit dentures), the State Board of Dentistry, and dental insurance providers. Key changes include restructuring the Board's membership to include a prosthetics expert and public consumer representative, repealing outdated sections, and creating new Chapter 33 which establishes licensing requirements, prohibits certain activities, mandates dental insurance coverage for denturist services, and outlines application, renewal, and disciplinary procedures. The bill also revises examination standards and board powers related to licensure enforcement.
