SB 22-058

Senate Bill 22-058 establishes a support program for dental hygienists in Colorado, allowing them to receive help with physical, emotional, or psychological issues that might affect their work. The program is funded by a $15 annual fee paid by each dental hygienist when they first get licensed and every time they renew their license. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now active and dental hygienists can start benefiting from this support system.
