Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 6. Board of Dentistry - report by majority required. There
is created a Board of Dentistry, to be composed of persons designated from
time to time by the Secretary, as follows:
Eleven persons, 8 of whom have been dentists for a period of 5
years or
more; 2 of whom have been dental hygienists
for a period of 5 years or more, and one public member.
None of the members shall be an officer, dean, assistant dean, or associate
dean of a
dental college or dental department of an institute of learning, nor shall any
member be
the program director of any dental hygiene program. A board member who holds a
faculty position in a dental school or dental hygiene program shall not
participate in the
examination of applicants for licenses from that school or program. The
dental
hygienists shall not participate in the examination of
applicants for licenses
to practice dentistry. The public member shall not participate in the
examination of applicants for licenses to
practice dentistry or dental
hygiene. The board shall annually elect a chairman and vice-chairman who shall be dentists.
Terms for all members shall be for 4 years. Partial terms over 2 years
in length shall be considered as full terms. A member may be reappointed
for a successive term, but no member shall serve more than 2 full terms in
his or her lifetime.
The membership of the Board shall include only residents from various
geographic areas of this State and shall include at least some graduates
from various institutions of dental education in this State.
In making appointments to the Board the Secretary shall give due
consideration to recommendations by organizations of the dental profession
in Illinois, including the Illinois State Dental Society and Illinois
Dental Hygienists Association, and shall promptly give due notice to
such organizations of any vacancy in the membership of the Board.
The Secretary may terminate the appointment of any member for cause which in
the opinion of the Secretary reasonably justifies such termination.
A vacancy in the membership of the Board
shall not impair the right of a quorum to exercise all the rights
and perform all the duties of the Board.
Any action to be taken by the Board under this Act may be authorized
by resolution at any regular or special meeting, and each such resolution
shall take effect immediately. The Board shall meet at least quarterly.
The members of the Board shall each receive as compensation a reasonable
sum as determined by the Secretary for each day actually engaged in the
duties of the office, and all legitimate and necessary expense incurred in
attending the meetings of the Board.
Members of the Board shall be immune from suit in any action based
upon any disciplinary proceedings or other activities performed in good
faith as members of the Board.
