The amendment requires the applicant to furnish proof satisfactory to the board that the applicant has been licensed to practice dentistry in this State and is in good standing with the board. It also requires that an applicant licensed to practice dentistry in another state or a Canadian province have professional education that is not less than required in this State and that the applicant must be in good standing and not subject to disciplinary action in the state or Canadian province in which the license was granted. The amendment also adds an appropriations and allocations section.
