AI Summary

This bill modifies the Oklahoma Chiropractic Practice Act by updating definitions and licensing procedures for chiropractors. Key changes include requiring all license applications, whether for initial licensure by examination or by relocation of practice, to be submitted through an online licensure portal instead of paper forms. It also clarifies that a chiropractic program must be accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, not just any accredited institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. The bill also specifies that when an application is disapproved, the applicant will be notified by the Executive Director of the Board of Chiropractic Examiners with the reasons in writing. Additionally, it repeals a section of law related to registration as a chiropractic claims consultant.
