A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5682 AS INTRODUCED 4-25-00

Currently, the Michigan Board of Dentistry is composed of seven dentists (one of which may have a health profession specialty certification), two dentists with a health profession specialty certification, two dental hygienists, two dental assistants, and two public members. The bill would amend the Public Health Code to increase the voting membership of the board from 15 members to 19 members by adding one additional dentist, two additional dental hygienists, and one additional public member. A member currently on the board at the time of the bill's effective date could serve out his or her term. The board meeting dates and times would have to be concurred in by a vote of 13 (increased from 12) board members.
