Universal Recognition of Occupational License Act; exempt practices of dentistry and optometry from.

HB 363 exempts dentistry and optometry from Mississippi's Universal Recognition of Occupational Licenses Act. This means dentists and optometrists licensed in other states cannot use the streamlined process under the Act to obtain a Mississippi license. The bill amends Section 73-50-2 to remove these professions from the list of occupations covered by the recognition law, requiring them to follow standard licensing procedures instead. The change directly affects licensed dentists and optometrists seeking to practice in Mississippi.
