The proposed bill introduces the "Complementary and Alternative Health Care Practice Act," which allows individuals to provide certain complementary and alternative health care services without being licensed by the state of New Hampshire, as long as they adhere to specific guidelines. The bill defines "complementary and alternative health care services" as methods or treatments not widely accepted by traditional health care professions. It establishes a licensing exemption for unlicensed individuals, provided they do not engage in prohibited activities such as performing surgery, administering x-rays, or prescribing medications.

Additionally, the bill mandates that practitioners disclose their qualifications and obtain informed consent from clients before providing services. This includes providing a client information document that outlines their qualifications, the nature of the services offered, and a statement clarifying that they are not a licensed health care practitioner. The bill also emphasizes the importance of maintaining transparency and accountability, requiring practitioners to keep a written acknowledgment from clients for two years. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
