Health occupations: dentists; dentistry task force; eliminate. Amends sec. 16620 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16620) & repeals sec. 16624 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16624).
HB 5102 eliminates Michigan's Dentistry Task Force by repealing the law that created it (Section 16624 of the Public Health Code). The bill also amends Section 16620 to clarify that terms for members of boards or task forces expire "4 years after appointment on June 30 of the year in which the term will expire." This change directly affects the dentistry task force members (now eliminated) and the oversight structure for dental professions. The bill makes no new policy changes for dental practice but removes a specific oversight body and refines term expiration language for similar entities.
