(d) A licensee of a participating state who has a qualifying license in that state and does not hold an encumbered license in any other participating state, shall be issued a compact privilege in a remote state in accordance with the terms of the compact and commission rules. If a remote state has a jurisprudence requirement a compact privilege will not be issued to the licensee unless the licensee has satisfied the jurisprudence requirement.
(4) Compact privilege. (a) To obtain and exercise the compact privilege under the terms and provisions of the compact, the licensee shall:
1. Have a qualifying license as a dentist or dental hygienist in a participating state;
2. Be eligible for a compact privilege in any remote state in accordance with pars. (d), (g), and (h);
3. Submit to an application process whenever the licensee is seeking a compact privilege;
4. Pay any applicable commission and remote state fees for a compact privilege in the remote state;
5. Meet any jurisprudence requirement established by a remote state in which the licensee is seeking a compact privilege;
6. Have passed a national board examination of the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations or another examination accepted by commission rule;
7. For a dentist, have graduated from a predoctoral dental education program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation or another accrediting agency recognized by the United States department of education for the accreditation of dentistry and dental hygiene education programs, leading to the doctor of dental surgery (D.D.S.) or doctor of dental medicine (D.M.D.) degree;
8. For a dental hygienist, have graduated from a dental hygiene education program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation or another accrediting agency recognized by the United States department of education for the accreditation of dentistry and dental hygiene education programs;
9. Have successfully completed a clinical assessment for licensure;
10. Report to the commission adverse action taken by any non-participating state when applying for a compact privilege and, otherwise, within thirty (30) days from the date the adverse action is taken;
11. Report to the commission when applying for a compact privilege the address of the licensee’s primary residence and thereafter immediately report to the commission any change in the address of the licensee’s primary residence; and
12. Consent to accept service of process by mail at the licensee’s primary residence on record with the commission with respect to any action brought against the licensee by the commission or a participating state, and consent to accept service of a subpoena by mail at the licensee’s primary residence on record with the commission with respect to any action brought or investigation conducted by the commission or a participating state.
(b) The licensee must comply with the requirements of par. (a) to maintain the compact privilege in the remote state. If those requirements are met, the compact privilege will continue as long as the licensee maintains a qualifying license in the state through which the licensee applied for the compact privilege and pays any applicable compact privilege renewal fees.
(c) A licensee providing dentistry or dental hygiene in a remote state under the compact privilege shall function within the scope of practice authorized by the remote state for a dentist or dental hygienist licensed in that state.
(d) A licensee providing dentistry or dental hygiene pursuant to a compact privilege in a remote state is subject to that state’s regulatory authority. A remote state may, in accordance with due process and that state’s laws, by adverse action revoke or remove a licensee’s compact privilege in the remote state for a specific period of time and impose fines or take any other necessary actions to protect the health and safety of its citizens. If a remote state imposes an adverse action against a compact privilege that limits the compact privilege, that adverse action applies to all compact privileges in all remote states. A licensee whose compact privilege in a remote state is removed for a specified period of time is not eligible for a compact privilege in any other remote state until the specific time for removal of the compact privilege has passed and all encumbrance requirements are satisfied.
(e) If a license in a participating state is an encumbered license, the licensee shall lose the compact privilege in a remote state and shall not be eligible for a compact privilege in any remote state until the license is no longer encumbered.
(f) Once an encumbered license in a participating state is restored to good standing, the licensee must meet the requirements of par. (a) to obtain a compact privilege in a remote state.
(g) If a licensee’s compact privilege in a remote state is removed by the remote state, the individual shall lose or be ineligible for the compact privilege in any remote state until the following occur:
1. The specific period of time for which the compact privilege was removed has ended; and
2. All conditions for removal of the compact privilege have been satisfied.
(h) Once the requirements of par. (g) have been met, the licensee must meet the requirements in par. (a) to obtain a compact privilege in a remote state.
(5) Active military member or their spouses. An active military member and their spouse shall not be required to pay to the commission for a compact privilege the fee otherwise charged by the commission. If a remote state chooses to charge a fee for a compact privilege, it may choose to charge a reduced fee or no fee to an active military member and their spouse for a compact privilege.
(6) Adverse actions. (a) A participating state in which a licensee is licensed shall have exclusive authority to impose adverse action against the qualifying license issued by that participating state.
(b) A participating state may take adverse action based on the significant investigative information of a remote state, so long as the participating state follows its own procedures for imposing adverse action.
(c) Nothing in this compact shall override a participating state’s decision that participation in an alternative program may be used in lieu of adverse action and that such participation shall remain nonpublic if required by the participating state’s laws. Participating states must require licensees who enter any alternative program in lieu of discipline to agree not to practice pursuant to a compact privilege in any other participating state during the term of the alternative program without prior authorization from such other participating state.
(d) Any participating state in which a licensee is applying to practice or is practicing pursuant to a compact privilege may investigate actual or alleged violations of the statutes and regulations authorizing the practice of dentistry or dental hygiene in any other participating state in which the dentist or dental hygienist holds a license or compact privilege.
(e) A remote state shall have the authority to:
