AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law on acupuncture and Eastern medicine in Washington state. It expands the definition of "acupuncture and Eastern medicine" to include a broader range of traditional and modern therapeutic treatments, such as the use of presterilized needles, electrical stimulation, cupping, and point injection therapy. The bill also establishes new education and training requirements for acupuncturists or acupuncture and Eastern medicine practitioners who want to provide point injection therapy, including the administration of local anesthetics, epinephrine, and oxygen. The Department of Health is directed to adopt rules to implement these new requirements by July 1, 2021.
