Existing law, the Licensed Dentists from Mexico Pilot Program, requires the Dental Board of California to issue 3-year nonrenewable permits to practice dentistry to dentists from Mexico who meet specified criteria. This bill would repeal those provisions and replace them with a new Licensed Dentists from Mexico Pilot Program. Under that new program, the bill would require the board to issue a 3-year nonrenewable license to practice dentistry to an applicant that meets certain criteria, as specified, and require participants in the program to comply with specified requirements. The bill would require specified portions of the program to be administered by representatives from a certain federally qualified health center. The bill would authorize participants to be employed only by federally qualified health centers that meet specified conditions, and would impose requirements on those centers. The bill would require an evaluation of the program to be commenced beginning one year after the program has commenced, as specified, and would prescribe the information to be included in that evaluation.
