S 2400 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Removes requirement for branch office registration certificates and modernizes requirements to notify State and consumers of locations where dentists provide services.

S 2400 simplifies dental licensing in New Jersey by eliminating the requirement for dentists to obtain separate "branch office registration certificates" when practicing at multiple locations. It modernizes the existing system by replacing this with a streamlined annual notification process where dentists simply list all practice locations on their renewal form. This change directly affects licensed dentists who operate outside their primary office location, removing a $2 fee per additional site. The bill updates notification rules to ensure the State Board of Dentistry and consumers are informed about where dental services are provided, while maintaining exemptions for hospital staff and home visits. The amendment applies to new licenses and renewals issued after the bill's effective date.
