The proposed bill seeks to update the current statutes governing the Board of Chiropractic Examiners by introducing new provisions that expand the grounds for disciplinary action against chiropractic doctors. It specifies actions classified as unprofessional conduct, such as failing to disclose financial interests, making false statements, and mishandling patient records. The bill also mandates the Board to develop policies for psychosexual evaluations, requires annual conflict-of-interest training for Board members, and establishes a discipline matrix to standardize actions. Additionally, it clarifies the scope of investigations, limits the Board's ability to subpoena personal financial information, and sets timelines for completing investigations and making decisions on complaints.

Moreover, the bill includes provisions for the timely referral of criminal complaints to law enforcement, automatic license suspension for failure to renew, and the requirement for applicants to submit fingerprints. It removes outdated language and streamlines existing statutes to enhance transparency and efficiency in the Board's operations. Overall, the combination of new insertions and deletions aims to modernize the legal framework while maintaining the core principles established in the current law.
