  1  1    Section 1.  Section 153.19, subsection 2, Code 2007, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    2.  a.  A temporary permit shall be issued for a period
  1  4 determined by the board and may be renewed at the discretion
  1  5 of the board.  The fee for a temporary permit and the fee for
  1  6 renewal shall be set by the board.  The fees shall be based on
  1  7 the administrative costs of issuing and renewing the permits.
  1  8    b.  If the board issues a temporary permit to a person
  1  9 providing free dental or dental hygiene services on a
  1 10 volunteer basis, the board shall not charge a fee for issuance
  1 11 of the permit.  This paragraph is repealed July 1, 2010.
  1 12                           EXPLANATION
  1 13    Current law authorizes the board to issue temporary permits
  1 14 to persons who do not hold an Iowa license but possess
  1 15 qualifications which are substantially equivalent to Iowa
  1 16 licensure standards.  This bill waives any permit fee for a
  1 17 person providing free dental or dental hygiene services on a
  1 18 volunteer basis.  The waiver provision is repealed July 1,
  1 19 2010.
