Plain-language change summary

The revised version of Bill HB 414 clarified the definition of "health information" by eliminating some earlier vague language. It also maintained the definitions of "Board" and "Dental assistant" without changing their intention. These adjustments help ensure clear understanding and compliance regarding the transmission of health information, which is crucial for both dental professionals and patient privacy. By refining these terms, the bill aims to enhance the operational framework for dental practitioners.
