Parliament has passed the Dentists (Amendment) Bill, 2019 with the Rajya Sabah approving it today.
Lok Sabha had already passed the bill. The Bill seeks to make the Dental Council of India more effective and make changes in clauses relating to its membership and that of State Councils.
It will help reduce redundancy by restructuring the Dental Councils. The representation of Central Government members and elected members would no longer be made mandatory in the Dental Councils as per the new legislation.
