Permits dentists to administer vaccinations against human papillomavirus

This bill allows dentists to give human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines as part of their professional duties. It achieves this by updating the legal definition of dentistry to explicitly include administering HPV vaccinations alongside other dental services. The change applies to all licensed dentists and does not alter other aspects of dental practice. The law will not take effect immediately but will wait until 180 days after it is signed into law.
