This bill requires dental practices to preserve patient records for the amount

of time determined by the board by rule. It also requires dental practices to transfer

patient records if requested by a patient or person authorized by the patient. Also,

practicing dentistry or dental hygiene may not require the dentist or dental hygienist

to meet a minimum quota for the number of patients seen or procedures performed.
