Summary
Under existing law, the Dental Practice Act, the Dental Board of California is responsible for the licensure and regulation of dentists. Licensure fees imposed upon dentists are deposited into the State Dentistry Fund for the purposes of administering the act and are subject to appropriation by the Legislature. This bill would create the Volunteer Insured Dentists Program, administered by the board, to provide specified malpractice insurance coverage to volunteer dentists providing uncompensated care to low-income patients pursuant to a contract with a qualified health care entity, as defined. The bill would provide unspecified funding for the program from the State Dentistry Fund for a limited period of time. The bill would require annual reports to the Legislature until January 1, 2015.
