Diagnostic x-ray systems; requiring the Board of Dentistry to enforce certain laws. Effective date.

SB 439 requires Oklahoma's Board of Dentistry to enforce state and federal radiation safety laws governing diagnostic x-ray systems used in dental offices. This directly affects dental practices that operate x-ray equipment, making them subject to stricter oversight of radiation safety compliance. The bill adds a specific duty for the Board to enforce the Diagnostic X-Ray Facility Act and other radiation-related laws, mandates data submission to the State Department of Health, and updates related fee schedules. These changes clarify the Board's authority to regulate dental x-ray safety without creating new safety standards.
