Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to professions and occupations; authorizing the board of chiropractic examiners to obtain criminal background checks as specified; requiring applicants for licensure and licensees subject to investigation and disciplinary action by the board of chiropractic examiners to submit fingerprints and other necessary information for a criminal background check; specifying applicability; requiring rulemaking; and providing for effective dates.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Wyoming Board of Chiropractic Examiners to conduct criminal background checks on both new applicants for chiropractic licensure and existing licensees under investigation. Starting July 1, 2025, all initial license applicants will be required to submit fingerprints and other necessary information to enable a comprehensive state and national criminal history record background check. Additionally, the board may request criminal history background information for ongoing investigations or disciplinary actions against current licensees, who must provide fingerprints and related information upon written request. The bill amends existing statutes to explicitly allow the board to access criminal history records for these purposes, with the board required to establish rules for implementing these new background check procedures by July 1, 2025. The provisions will apply to all initial applicants and licensees under investigation from July 1, 2025 onward, aiming to enhance the board's ability to assess the fitness and background of chiropractic professionals in Wyoming.
