AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.

Utah law currently lists specific "public health settings," such as nursing homes, schools, and community health centers, where dental hygienists can provide certain care without a dentist directly overseeing their work on-site. This bill would add hospitals to that list, meaning dental hygienists could practice in hospitals under only "general supervision," which means a dentist doesn't need to be physically present but must be available for consultation about the care being provided.
