New Jersey enacts the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact to facilitate interstate practice for licensed professionals.

The bill enacts the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact in New Jersey, allowing dentists and dental hygienists licensed in one member state to practice in other member states without additional state-specific licensing. The compact is overseen by a commission comprising two voting members from each member state dental board. Member states must submit dental board actions and other documents to a centralized clearinghouse. The commission has the power to enforce the compact, establish rules, and resolve disputes among member states.
