The bill amends the Wyoming Acupuncture Practice Act to incorporate the regulation of naturopathic medicine, thereby broadening the responsibilities of the Wyoming Board of Acupuncture to include both acupuncture and naturopathic practices. It introduces new definitions such as "licensed naturopathic physician" and "approved naturopathic medical program," and expands the board's membership to nine, including three naturopathic physicians. The board will be responsible for establishing standards for practice and licensure for both fields, while also outlining specific licensure requirements for naturopathic medicine, including graduation from an accredited program and passing a national licensing examination.

Additionally, the bill sets forth penalties for practicing without a valid license and provides exemptions for certain individuals, such as those licensed in other jurisdictions during emergencies. It also includes provisions for the board to manage license reinstatement applications and mandates notification of any court orders affecting licenses. Importantly, the bill states that no appeals can be made under the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act for licenses impacted by court orders. The act is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2025, with some sections becoming effective immediately after legislative processes are completed.
