DENTISTS-LOAN REPAYMENT ASSIST

Summary
Amends the Loan Repayment Assistance for Dentists Act. Provides that the term "dental payments" includes compensation for services rendered under the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act and the Children's Health Insurance Program Act. Provides that assistance under the educational loan repayment assistance program shall commence once the dentist or dental specialist begins (i) practicing in a designated shortage area and (ii) accepting dental payments. Prohibits the Department of Public Health from setting a minimum amount of dental payments as a condition of eligibility for assistance. Provides that an applicant for assistance must commit to (instead of continue) full-time practice in a designated shortage area for a minimum of 2 years (instead of for 2 years). Provides that the total amount in grants that a person may be awarded must not exceed $25,000 per year for each year of eligibility (instead of for a 4-year period). Prohibits a person from receiving grants for more than 4 years. Effective immediately.
