Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to limited permits in dentistry
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation will remove excess barriers to dental residencies and permit dental residents to take the mandated dental ethics training course during the period of their residency
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 would amend Section 6605 of Article 133 of the Education Law to exempt graduates of dental schools who are in approved residency programs from having to obtain limited permits.
Section 2 would provide that the law take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become law.
Justification
Dental school graduates enrolled in approved residencies under the State Education Department requirements should not be required to obtain limited permits, which require applications and time consuming waits for approval. Medical school graduates are not required to have limited permits. Once a dental school graduate is enrolled in a residency approved by the Department, there are sufficient institutional safeguards to protect the public.
