What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the examinations required for chiropractic licensure in this state include a practical examination administered by the Chiropractic Examining Board (board) that tests the applicant's knowledge of the subjects usually taught in a chiropractic school and any examination that the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) requires.
This bill eliminates the requirement that an applicant for chiropractic licensure pass a practical exam administered by the board. Also, the bill specifies that an applicant for chiropractic licensure must pass Parts I, II, III, and IV of the chiropractic examination that the NBCE administers.

The bill also adds the American Chiropractic Association as an acceptable sponsor of continuing education programs required by the board.
