   AB 437, as introduced, Pan. State Department of Public Health:
dental program.
   Existing law establishes the State Department of Public Health and

health promotion. Existing law requires the department to maintain a
dental program that includes prescribed components and to appoint a
dentist licensed in California to administer the program.
   This bill would delete the requirement that the licensed dentist
appointed to administer the program be licensed in California.

 licensed in the State of California  to administer
the dental program.
