SB1173 would allow dentists to claim up to three hours served at a volunteer clinic or a charitable event as continuing education credits.
The bill was written by Sen. Scott Martin, who said it would reward dentists while improving access to care for underserved communities without increasing costs.
The bill now goes to the full Senate for consideration.
