Bill > HB84

This bill makes several changes to the Alabama State Board of Chiropractic Examiners' operations and regulations. The bill modifies board election procedures by allowing more flexible methods for sending election notices and ballots, such as electronically sending instead of mailing them. It removes the concept of a "limited license" for chiropractic students and recent graduates, replacing it with more specific supervision and training requirements. The bill revises continuing education requirements for licensees, establishing that license and permit renewals must be accompanied by proof of completing the required continuing education hours. The bill also updates language around board member qualifications, including clarifying residency and practice requirements, and adds provisions for criminal background checks during license renewal and reinstatement processes. Additionally, the bill makes various technical corrections to the existing law, such as standardizing terminology and removing outdated language. The changes aim to modernize the board's operations, ensure proper oversight of chiropractic practice, and maintain professional standards for licensees in Alabama.
