Chiropractic board; board service and licensure qualifications revised

Description

Under existing law, a member of the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners must be a graduate of a chiropractic school that required actual attendance in the school to graduate.

Under existing law, applicants for a license to practice chiropractic in the state must be a graduate of a chiropractic school that teaches only attendance courses and requires a four-year standard college course.

This bill would remove the requirements that such schools teach only attendance courses and require a four-year standard college course.

Under existing law, certain applicants for licensure must have a bachelor's degree or an academic graduate degree and have completed a standardized test commensurate with the graduate degree.

This bill would remove the requirement that applicants must hold a bachelor's or other academic graduate degree to qualify for licensure.

This bill would also make nonsubstantive, SB29 INTRODUCED technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
