House Bill 103 would require the Maryland Department of Health to study the state’s ability to cover more dental services under the state’s dental plan for low-income residents. Another bill, House Bill 167, would require school aged-children to have a “certificate of dental health” in order to be enrolled in a Maryland public school.
Del. Joseline Peña-Melnyk told the news organization that more dentistry-related legislation would be filed as the state’s legislative session continues.
