Bill > S1336

This bill aims to establish a framework for the regulation of acupuncture detoxification specialists in Massachusetts. It defines key terms such as "auricular acupuncture detoxification," "acupuncture detoxification specialist," and "qualified health care professional." The bill outlines the registration requirements for acupuncture detoxification specialists, including the need for relevant licensure or certification and completion of the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) training or an equivalent program. The bill also specifies that acupuncture detoxification specialists must practice under the general supervision of a licensed acupuncturist, and that they cannot use the title "acupuncturist" or perform acupuncture outside the scope of the NADA protocol. The overall goal of the bill is to regulate the practice of auricular acupuncture detoxification in the state and ensure that it is performed by qualified healthcare professionals.
