an independent consultant to prepare a report that examines oral health 
in the state of Florida, specifically in regards to affordability, 
access, and delivery of dental care. The study must examine utilization 
data and delivery system gaps, including demographic and income 
disparities; develop and evaluate policy proposals to address barriers 
to care, expedience of care delivery, and oral health outcomes for 
high-need and high-risk populations; and examine workforce policies from 
other states authorizing or increasing mid-level dental providers such 
as expanded functions for dental assistants, community dental health 
coordinators, and dental therapists in order to compare the success of 
implementing expanded functions for mid-level dental providers in other 
states to the health access dental license currently authorized in 
Florida. The Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government 
Accountability shall submit a report that summarizes the findings of the 
independent consultant and makes recommendations on improving the 
affordability, access, and delivery of dental care to the Governor, 
President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives by 
January 30, 2019.
