State Board of Dental Examiners; clarify powers and duties relating to practice of dentistry and dental hygiene.

HB 1515 clarifies the Mississippi State Board of Dental Examiners' authority to set limits on what licensed dental hygienists can do while working under a dentist's supervision. The bill specifically amends Section 73-9-13 to ensure the board can regulate dental hygienists' activities without conflicting with existing laws. It does not change licensing requirements for dentists but focuses on defining supervision boundaries. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
