a temporary license that would allow dentists to solicit
support from dentists who may not be licensed in Alaska for
temporary periods not to exceed 240 days. He spoke to the
importance of the legislation and detailed it was supported
by the Dental Society and the Alaska Dental Board. He was
supportive of the changes in the CS.
Senator Micciche MOVED to REPORT SCS CSHB 346(FIN) out of
committee with individual recommendations and attached
fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered.
SCS CSHB 346(FIN) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do
pass" recommendation and with one previously published
