Introduced Text

Kansas SB432 updates the Kansas Dental Practices Act to eliminate the in-person practice requirement for dentists in their own offices.

Kansas SB432 amends the Kansas Dental Practices Act by removing the requirement for dentists to be personally present in their own dental offices at least 20% of the time patients are being treated. This change allows dentists to own multiple dental offices, including secondary offices within a 125-mile radius of their primary office, without needing to be physically present in each office. The bill also modifies the rules for dentists advertising their names and associating with other licensed dentists or medical professionals in various business structures.
