SP0349, LD 1009, item 2, Document Text

Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:

‘Sec. 1. 32 MRSA §1100-E-2 is enacted to read:

§ 1100-E-2. Permits for externship

The board may issue a permit to a bona fide denturist student of a school acceptable to the board to allow that student, after the completion of satisfactory training, to perform, commensurate with the student's level of training and under the supervision of a licensed dentist or denturist or instructional facility acceptable to the board, limited denturist services in private practice or institutional and public health service programs within the State if the student presents satisfactory proof of academic affiliation and good academic standing and the board determines that the student has not violated this chapter or the rules of the board.

The board, prior to the issuance of a permit under this section, shall determine that the supervision and control of the services to be performed by the student are adequate and that the performance of these services by the student adds to the student's knowledge and skill in the practice of denturism. A permit issued under this section is valid for one year from the date of issuance and may be renewed one time only for the purpose of completing supervised training experience. The board shall adopt rules to implement this section. Rules adopted pursuant to this section are routine technical rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.

For the purposes of this section, "denturist services" means services provided through the practice of denturism.’

summary

This amendment replaces the bill. Like the bill, this amendment authorizes the Board of Dental Examiners to issue a permit to a bona fide denturist student of a school acceptable to the board, after the completion of satisfactory training, to perform limited denturist services in private practice or institutional and public health service programs within the State, commensurate with the student's level of training under the supervision and control of a licensed dentist or denturist or instructional facility acceptable to the board. The amendment differs from the bill in that it requires the board only, rather than the board and the school, prior to the issuance of this permit, to determine that the supervision and control of the services to be performed by the student are adequate and that the performance of those services by the student adds to the student's knowledge and skill in the practice of denturism. The amendment specifies that a permit issued is valid for one year from the date of issuance and may be renewed one time only for the purpose of completing supervised training experience. It also requires the board to adopt routine technical rules to implement this provision.
