Purpose

Repeals the statute governing the pathway for a dental
assistant to practice as an oral preventative assistant.

Background

In 2025, the
Legislature established a pathway for a dental assistant to practice as an oral
preventative assistant upon completion of a training course approved by the
Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners (BODEX) and outlined scope of practice
requirements for oral preventative assistants (
Laws 2025, Ch. 17
;

A.R.S.
� 32-1291.02
). Current statute allows dental assistants to expose
radiographs for dental diagnostic purposes, under the general supervision of a
dentist or the direct supervision of a dental hygienist if the dental assistant
has passed a BODEX-approved examination. Similarly, dental assistants may
polish the natural and restored surfaces of teeth under the general supervision
of a dentist or the direct supervision of a dental hygienist, if the dental
assistant has passed a BODEX-approved examination (
A.R.S.
� 32-1291
).

An
oral
preventative assistant
is a type of expanded function dental assistant who
has taken the required education and completed training to provide patients
with additional preventive services and assist hygienists with preventive care
practices. Oral preventative assistants remove hard build up on visible,
healthy teeth or on patients with reversible gum inflammation (
American
Dental Association
). A
dental assistant
is any person who acts as an
assistant to a dentist, dental therapist or dental hygienist by rendering
personal services to a patient that involves close proximity to the patient
while the patient is under treatment or observation or undergoing diagnostic
procedures (
A.R.S.
� 32-1201
).

There is no
anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.

Provisions

1.

Repeals the statute governing the pathway for a dental assistant to
practice as an oral preventative assistant.

2.

Section 1. Section 32-1133.01, Arizona Revised
Statutes, is amended to read:

START_STATUTE
32-1133.01.

Administrative recovery; statute of limitations

A. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
chapter, if a contractor license has been revoked or suspended as a result of
an order to remedy a violation of this chapter, the registrar may order payment
from the residential contractors' recovery fund to remedy the violation.

B. The registrar must serve the contractor with a
notice setting forth the amount claimed or to be awarded.

C. If the contractor contests the amount or
propriety of the payment, the contractor must respond in writing within ten
days after the date of service by requesting a hearing to determine the amount
or propriety of the payment. The contractor's failure to respond in
writing within
ten

twenty
days after
the date of service may be deemed a waiver by the contractor of the right to
contest the amount claimed or to be awarded.

D. Service of the notice required by subsection B of
this section may be made by personal service to the contractor or by mailing a
copy of the notice by certified mail with postage prepaid to the contractor's
latest address of record on file in the registrar's office.

E. If service is made by certified mail, it is
effective five days after the notice is mailed. Except as provided
in section 41-1092.08, subsection H, the contractor or claimant may seek
judicial review of the registrar's final award pursuant to title 12, chapter 7,
article 6.

F. A claimant to the residential contractors'
recovery fund pursuant to this section must show that the claimant has
proceeded against any existing bond covering the residential contractor.

G. A claim for payment from the residential
contractor's recovery fund must be submitted within two years after all
proceedings, reviews and appeals connected with the registrar's final order
terminate.
