STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31486 / S1375
This legislation makes minor corrections to the voluntary naturopathic doctor dual licensure statute. It
clarifies the post-doctorate training required to obtain voluntary licensure and prevents policy overlap with
other naturopathic licensure statutes. The bill expands the educational requirements to reflect actual training
programs available to professionals seeking dual licensure in Idaho. This legislation does not change the
underlying doctorate licensure requirement or the requirement that the underlying licene must remain active
and in good standing.
FISCAL NOTE
The only anticipated fiscal impact will be positive. These changes will allow the Division of Occupational and
Professional Licenses to begin licensing those individuals seeking licensure, so the Board will begin to see an
increase in revenue.
