Sec. 256.1016. TEMPORARY LICENSE FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSE. | ||
(a) In this section, "voluntary charity care" has the meaning | ||
assigned by board rule under Section 256.102. | ||
(b) The board shall grant a temporary license for a dentist | ||
whose practice consists only of voluntary charity care to a | ||
reputable dentist who: | ||
(1) meets the requirements of Sections 256.101(a)(3), | ||

(2) ceased practicing dentistry in another state not | ||
more than two years before the date the dentist applies for a | ||
license under this section; and | ||
(3) was licensed in good standing as a dentist in | ||
another state at the time the dentist ceased practicing dentistry | ||
in that state, if the board determines the licensing requirements | ||
of that state are substantially equivalent to the requirements of | ||
this subtitle. | ||
(c) A dentist issued a license under this section shall: | ||
(1) confine the dentist's practice to voluntary | ||
charity care; | ||
(2) practice only in a geographic area specified by | ||
the license; and | ||
(3) practice only for the period specified by the | ||
license. | ||
(d) The board shall adopt rules as necessary to implement | ||
this section. | ||
SECTION 2. The State Board of Dental Examiners shall adopt | ||
rules as necessary to implement Section 256.1016, Occupations Code, | ||
as added by this Act, not later than January 1, 2014. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2013. |
