Summary

This bill creates two tiers of licensure in the state for acupuncture practitioners: One for acupuncturists only and one for acupuncturists who have been properly trained and wish to practice eastern medicine. The bill removes outdated language regarding the grandfathering provision that expired in 2008 as well as the term “oriental” when used except where it is part of the title of a certifying body or a certificate. Finally, the bill removes the requirement of ongoing NADA certification for acupuncture detoxification specialists.
