Identical to H 357, filed 3/15/11.

Amends GS 116-40.10 to provide as title indicates. Directs the Board of Governors (Board) to forgive the loan awarded to a graduate of the School of Dentistry at East Carolina University if, within seven years of graduation, the recipient practices dentistry in a rural or underserved area of NC for four years or works as a full-time faculty member at one of the two schools of dentistry in NC for four years. Also directs the Board to forgive the loan if the Board finds that the recipient cannot practice dentistry for four years, within seven years of graduation, due to the recipient's permanent disability or death. Makes conforming and technical changes.
