House Bill 3876 amends the Occupations Code to require certain dental practices to designate a dental custodian of records to provide records to the State Board of Dental Examiners or a dentist who has provided dental treatment. The bill makes it a Class B misdemeanor for violations of law relating to dental records; a subsequent violation is a Class A misdemeanor. The bill also prohibits a member of the board from serving as an expert witness in a suit involving a health care liability claim against a dentist in certain circumstances.
