Requires denturists to refer patients to doctors or dentists if they find health problems during an exam.
Sets rules for how denturists must be trained and tested, including written and practical exams.

The bill text provided is a working draft and was cut off before the end of Section 33-15-210.
The bill was recommended not to pass by a committee in February 2007, so it may not have become law.
The text does not specify the exact dollar amounts for licensing fees, as the board sets these each year.
