The bill amends the Wyoming Acupuncture Practice Act to incorporate the regulation of naturopathic medicine, establishing a new chapter titled the "Wyoming Acupuncture Practice and Naturopathic Medicine Act." This legislation creates definitions and standards for naturopathic practice, including the formation of a Wyoming board of acupuncture and naturopathic medicine composed of nine members, including licensed naturopathic physicians and public representatives. It outlines licensure requirements, mandating that applicants graduate from an accredited naturopathic medical program and pass a national licensing examination. Starting January 1, 2026, individuals must be licensed to practice naturopathic medicine in Wyoming, with penalties for non-compliance.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing laws related to acupuncture and naturopathic medicine, granting the board the authority to accept or reject license reinstatement applications and requiring notification to affected parties upon court orders that impact licenses. It specifies that no appeals under the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act will be allowed for licenses affected by such orders. The bill also broadens the board's authority to seek injunctions against unlicensed practice for both acupuncture and naturopathic medicine. Importantly, it clarifies that the new act does not apply to individuals already licensed under certain chapters of Wyoming statutes. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with some provisions becoming effective immediately after legislative approval.
