HB 1313 -- ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC PRACTITIONERS

SPONSOR: Shull (16)

This bill defines an animal chiropractic practitioner as someone who is a licensed veterinarian or licensed by the board of chiropractic examiners and who is certified by a veterinary chiropractic organization.

The bill removes "animal chiropractic" from the definition of veterinary medicine and it allows an animal chiropractic practitioner to engage in animal chiropractic without being considered practicing as a veterinarian.

This bill is the same as HB 1144 (2019), HCS HB 1911 (2018), and SB 746 (2018).

Statutes affected:
Introduced (3002H.01): 340.200, 340.216, 340.218, 340.222
