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. This bill would remove the requirement that, for purposes of board member qualification, the school that a board member graduated from must have required actual attendance 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, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
