dental program.
   Existing law establishes the State Department of Public Health and

appointed to administer the program be licensed in California.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 104755 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   104755.  The director shall appoint a  licensed  dentist
 licensed in the State of California  to administer
the dental program.
