Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health & Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 2149 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DENTISTRY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow dentists flexibility in complying with continuing education requirements by requiring completion of six hours of ethics training every two years instead of three hours each year.

 

     Hawaii Dental Association and numerous concerned individuals supported this measure.  The Board of Dental Examiners provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health & Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2149 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Intrastate Commerce.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health & Human Services,
