§ 54.1-2708.3. Regulation of mobile dental clinics.
No person shall operate a mobile dental clinic or other

mobile dental clinics operated by federally qualified health centers with a
dental component that provides dental services via mobile model to adults and
children within 30 miles of the federally qualified health center; (iii) mobile
dental clinics operated by free health clinics or health safety net clinics
that have been granted tax-exempt status pursuant to § 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code that provide dental services via mobile model to adults

The Board shall promulgate regulations for mobile dental clinics and other portable dental operations to ensure that patient safety is protected, appropriate dental services are rendered, and needed follow-up care is provided. Such regulations shall include, but not be limited to, requirements for the registration of mobile dental clinics, locations where services may be provided, requirements for reporting by providers, and other requirements necessary to provide accountability for services rendered.
