Faster Nevada licenses for dental hygienists

Beginning July 1, 2025, dental hygienists with a valid, unrestricted license from another U.S. state, territory, or DC can get a Nevada license by endorsement if their qualifications match Nevada rules and they meet NRS 622.530. The Board cannot require you to have practiced recently in another state. The Board must tell you within 21 business days if more information is needed and issue your license within 60 days, or within 15 days after it gets the FBI report or a required bond, whichever is later. Board leaders can issue licenses between meetings to avoid delays. Any Board rule that conflicts with the new statute is void.

Stronger checks for endorsement applicants

Beginning July 1, 2025, you must meet strict conduct and paperwork rules to get a license by endorsement. You cannot have been disciplined, found civil or criminally liable for job misconduct, suspended, revoked, refused a license, or under pending discipline. You must pay Nevada fees, give fingerprints for an FBI check (or show a comparable prior check), and file the NRS 425.520 statement. Boards may also require exam scores, training records, proof of prior practice or competency, and an affidavit. Regulators may deny you if you willfully skip fingerprints or if the FBI report shows a conviction that would be grounds for discipline and not previously addressed.
