HB 340 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

DENTISTRY: Changes the domicile of the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry (EN +$1,200 SG EX See Note)

HB 340 is a procedural bill that makes minor technical corrections to the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry's domicile designation. It removes a redundant reference to "Orleans" (Amendment 1) and deletes an unnecessary line (Amendment 2) in the bill text. This change does not alter the board's operations, responsibilities, or impact any dentists or patients. The bill was passed without committee opposition and requires no new funding or policy changes. It is purely a clerical update to the legislative text.
