HB 1366 establishes Oklahoma's participation in the American Association of Dental Boards (AADB) Dental and Dental Hygiene Compact. It directly affects dentists and dental hygienists seeking to practice across participating states by creating a streamlined licensing process. Key provisions include requiring a single uniform national exam (ADEX) for licensure, eliminating duplicate paperwork and fees for licensees moving between states, and providing automatic license privileges for active-duty military members and their spouses with no application fees. The compact also enables states to share disciplinary records through a centralized clearinghouse while maintaining each state's authority to regulate dental practice within its borders.
