We are currently in a short legislative session. The Legislative Committee has recommended that two bills be introduced: one for Indiana to join the Dental Compact and one to allow dental hygienists to administer vaccinations in dental offices.

The compact has received a bill: HB 1214 and has currently passed the first committee hearing with a vote of 11-0. It is awaiting a second committee hearing.

The vaccine administration bill: HB 1215 may not be heard since this is a short session.
