HB 1398: Acupuncture licensing

Regulating acupuncture licensing.

  • The regulatory terminology of the practice of acupuncture is changed from certification to licensure and only persons qualifying for licensure may practice acupuncture, unless otherwise authorized by law in other practice acts. Rendering dietary advice is included in the scope of practice, but only as it relates to specific procedures.
