Dentists and Dentistry - As introduced, clarifies that the board of dentistry must submit the board's annual report on or before January 1 of each year; adds the legislative librarian as a recipient of the report. - Amends TCA Title 63.

HB 1282 clarifies that Tennessee's Board of Dentistry must submit its annual report by January 1 each year, instead of the previous deadline. The bill requires the report to be sent to both the governor and the legislative librarian, ensuring these entities receive the board's annual summary of activities. This procedural change directly affects the Board of Dentistry by modifying its reporting obligations under Tennessee law (amending TCA Title 63, Section 63-5-106). The bill does not create new policies but streamlines existing reporting requirements for transparency.
