Hawaii SB481 expands eligibility for community service licenses for dental care providers.

Hawaii SB481 aims to increase access to dental care by expanding eligibility for community service licenses (CSL). The bill allows graduates from dental schools accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation or the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada to apply for a CSL. It also removes the requirement for CSL applicants to provide a copy of an active, unrestricted dental practice license from another state and eliminates the prohibition against those who failed the license examination from obtaining a CSL.
