Section 1 of this bill provides that no person who has been convicted of a felony sexual offense can receive a license to practice dentistry or dental hygiene. Section 2 of this bill requires permanent revocation of the license of any person convicted of a felony sexual offense. Section 3 makes it a ground for discipline if a licensee fails to report child abuse or neglect as required of persons licensed in the healing arts by 16 Del. C. 903. Section 4 of this bill requires a licensee to report to the Board any other licensee or healthcare provider who the licensee reasonably believes to be guilty of unprofessional conduct or physically or mentally incapable of practicing their profession. Failure to so report can be grounds for discipline, and any person making a report in good faith is not subject to civil or criminal liability for reporting.
