Removes requirement for branch office registration certificates and modernizes requirements to notify State and consumers of locations where dentists provide services.
This bill eliminates the requirement for dentists to obtain separate $2 branch office registration certificates when practicing at locations other than their primary office. Instead, dentists will simply list all practice locations on their existing annual registration form, which they already submit to the State Board of Dentistry. The change applies to dentists operating multiple locations (excluding hospitals/institutions where dentists don't receive direct compensation). It simplifies the registration process by removing an extra fee and certificate step, while maintaining the obligation to notify the state of all practice locations. The bill directly affects dentists who maintain offices beyond their main practice site.
