BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE

Sec.
1. RCW
18.32.195 and 1991 c 3 s 69 are each amended to read as follows:
The
board may, without examination, issue a license to persons who possess the
qualifications set forth in this section.
(1)
The board may, upon written request of the dean of the school of dentistry of
the University of Washington, issue a license to practice dentistry in this
state to persons who have been licensed or otherwise authorized to practice
dentistry in another state or country and who have been accepted for employment
by the school of dentistry as full-time faculty members. For purposes of this
((section)) subsection, this means teaching members of the
faculty of the school of dentistry of the University of Washington who are so
employed on a one hundred percent of work time basis. Such license shall
permit the holder thereof to practice dentistry within the confines of the
university facilities for a period of one year while he or she is so employed
as a full-time faculty member by the school of dentistry of the University of
Washington. It shall terminate whenever the holder ceases to be such a
full-time faculty member. Such license shall permit the holder thereof to
practice dentistry only in connection with his or her duties in employment with
the school of dentistry of the University of Washington. This limitation shall
be stated on the license.
(2) The
board may, upon written request of the dean of the school of dentistry of the
University of Washington, issue a limited license to practice dentistry in this
state to university residents in postgraduate dental education. The license
shall permit the resident dentist to provide dental care only in connection
with his or her duties as a university resident.
(3)
The board may condition the granting of ((such)) a license under
this section with terms the board deems appropriate. All persons licensed
under this section shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the dental
disciplinary board to the same extent as other members of the dental
profession, in accordance with this chapter, and in addition the licensee may
be disciplined by the dental disciplinary board after a hearing has been held
in accordance with the provisions set forth in this chapter, and determination
by the dental disciplinary board that such licensee has violated any of the
restrictions set forth in this section.
(((3)))
(4) Persons applying for licensure pursuant to this section shall pay
the application fee determined by the secretary and, in the event the license
applied for is issued, a license fee at the rate provided for licenses
generally. After review by the board of dental examiners, licenses issued
under this section may be renewed annually if the licensee continues to be
employed as a full-time faculty member of the school of dentistry of the
University of Washington, or a university resident in postgraduate dental
education, and otherwise meets the requirements of the provisions and
conditions deemed appropriate by the board of dental examiners. Any person who
obtains a license pursuant to this section may, without an additional
application fee, apply for licensure under this chapter, in which case the
applicant shall be subject to examination and the other requirements of this
chapter.
