Bill No. 99 of 1951. A BILL TO AMEND THE DENTAL ASSOCIATION ACT. NOTE. This Bill amends The Dental Association Act, being

chapter 291 of the Revised statutes of Alberta,

Section 8 is struck out and a new

section is substituted. The effect of the amendment is that the secretary-treasurer registrar will be appointed by the board of directors and he will not be a member of the board. Sections 14, 15 and 17 are amended and two new sections are added immediately before

section 17. The effect of all these amendments is that academic qualifications for membership in the association will no longer be determined by the board of directors of the association but will be de termined by the General Faculty Council of the University of Alberta. A-ccordingly,

section 14, subsection (2) is amended by striking out clause (

b) which required the board of directors of the dental association to consider the ,candidate's qualifications, academic, preprofessional and professional. The proviso to

section 15 is amended to make it clear that no certifi'cate of registration shall be granted to any person who has not satisfactorily complied with the provisions of

section 17. A new

section 16a is added. Subsection (1) of this

section is the same as the present subsection (1) of

section 17. Subsections (2) and (3) simply make it clear that the General Faculty Council of the University conducts and de termines the subjects of all examinations under this Act. The new

section 16b deals with a,cademic qualifications. Tlhis

section contains the provisions formerly contained in

section 17, subsection (2), clause (

a) plus some additional ones. It provides that a candidate who holds the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Alberta or who passes examinations set by the General Faculty Council of the University of Alberta, shall be deemed to have satisfactory academic qualifications.

A dentist coming from outside the Province who does not have the degree or who does not pass the examinations referred to above must satisfy the General Faculty Council of the University that his qualifications, at the time th~y were acquired, were at-least the equivalent to those required for registration in Alberta at that time. Such a candidate must also satisfy the board of directors of the association that he has been in

ii the active practice of dentistry throughout the major part of the five years immediately preceding the date of his application if he graduated more than five years prior to his application. If he graduated less than five years prior to the date of his application he must satisfy the board of directors that he has been in active practice or engaged in post graduate study throughout the major part of the time between his graduation and his application for reg istration. A candidate who can meet these requirements is deemed to have satisfactory academic qualifications.

Section 17 is amended by striking out those portions of subsections (1) and (2) relating to academic qualifications which are dealt with by the new sections.

Section 17 as amended provides that the association shall register as a member thereof any person who has satisfactory academic qualifications and who complies with the remaining clauses of the present section. A new

section is added immediately after

section 23 which requires the registrar of the association, when called upon to do so, to provide the Provincial Secretary with a copy of the annual roll which 'contains the names and ad dresses of all members of the association. "..-

Section 41 is amended. It presently contains a provision prohibiting physicians or surgeons from practising restora tive or prosthetic dentistry without first having been ex amined and licensed to practise dentistry under this Act. This provision is struck out. This Bill comes into force on the 1st day of July, 1951. KENNETH A. McKENZIE, Legislative Counsel.
