What This Bill Does
The bill lets the Board determine the required number of approved continuing education hours by rule rather than a fixed amount, and it allows excess CE hours to be carried over to the next renewal period for one year. It maintains the renewal process with a September 30 deadline and adds details on penalties for late renewal, possible waivers, and the reinstatement process, including fingerprinting and FBI background checks. It also clarifies that renewal and reinstatement require evidence of CE hours and compliance with board rules, with associated costs and confidentiality protections for background checks.

Who It Affects
Active licensed chiropractors in Alabama who must meet CE hours as determined by board rules and complete renewal requirements (including carryover of excess CE hours as allowed).
Chiropractors seeking renewal or reinstatement (including those with lapsed or inactive licenses or permits) who must comply with renewal/reinstatement procedures, potential fingerprinting/background checks, and associated fees or penalties.

Key Provisions
CE hours to be determined by board rule, with carryover of excess hours to the next renewal period for one year.
Renewal framework includes Sept. 30 deadline, grace period, late renewal penalties, automatic suspension if not renewed by Jan 1, and reinstatement procedures that may require fingerprints and FBI background checks, with costs borne by the applicant.
