Gov . Corbett signs Volunteer Licensure Bill into Law
PDA achieved a significant legislative victory this year with the passage of our volunteer dentistry bill ( HB 1056 ), that allows the State Board of Dentistry to issue temporary licenses to out-of-state dentists who wish to volunteer at charitable events or provide care during emergencies in Pennsylvania . On June 2 , we were represented at Gov . Tom Corbett ’ s bill signing ceremony . In attendance with Gov . Corbett were Dr . Bill Spruill ( Former PDA president ), Peg Callahan ( PDA lobbyist ), Rep . Keith Gillespie , who sponsored the bill , and Rep . Harry Readshaw , who helped ensure its passage .
