Adopts Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact.
New Jersey would join a multi-state agreement allowing licensed dentists and dental hygienists to practice across state lines without reapplying for separate licenses. This compact creates a streamlined "compact privilege" for professionals licensed in participating states, reducing administrative barriers for cross-state work. It aims to improve access to dental services in underserved areas while requiring states to share disciplinary records and maintain their own licensing standards. The agreement does not alter existing state licensure requirements but facilitates mobility for licensed professionals, including military families relocating between states.
