Sponsor Statement for SB 160 Sponsor Statement for SB 160 Senate Bill 160 changes the procedures for inspecting and registering dental radiological equipment.
Current procedures are erratic and inutile.
Inspections and needed adjustments are routinely performed by trained dental supply company technicians who are far more qualified to perform such inspections than representatives from the Department. SB 160 will place the registration of dental radiological equipment with the Board of Dentistry. The owner of the equipment will be responsible for providing documentation to the Board that the equipment is registered and has been inspected within the past five years. The Board will establish inspection criteria.
