RE:   H.B. No. 1876

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 1876 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DENTAL HYGIENISTS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to require a dental hygienist's license to practice to be prominently displayed at all times in the dental hygienist's office.

 

     The Board of Dental Examiners, Hawaii Dental Hygienists' Association, American Dental Hygienists' Association-Hawaii, and many concerned individuals testified in support of this bill.

 

     Your Committee requests that subsequent committee discussions include requiring copies, instead of the originals, of dental hygienist certificates of license to be displayed in offices of employment and requiring licensure, renewal, and expiration dates to be on all certificates of license.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by requiring both the license certificate and annual registration certificate to be displayed in the office in which the dental hygienist is employed or practices.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1876, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1876, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
