Bill > S1496

This bill modifies Section 96 of Chapter 112 of the Massachusetts General Laws related to continuing education requirements for chiropractors by changing the language that specifies who approves continuing education programs. Specifically, the bill replaces references to "the board" with "Massachusetts Chiropractic Society" in two instances, effectively shifting the authority for approving continuing education programs from a state board to the professional chiropractic society. This change means that the Massachusetts Chiropractic Society, rather than a state regulatory board, will now have the responsibility of reviewing and approving continuing education programs for chiropractors, which could potentially give the professional organization more direct control over the ongoing training and professional development standards for chiropractors in the state.
