AI Summary
This bill reenacts and amends existing Mississippi laws related to the practice of chiropractic, primarily by extending the date when these laws will automatically expire (repealer) from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2029. A key change is that chiropractors who are certified animal chiropractors will no longer need to practice under the direct supervision of a veterinarian when providing professional services to animals, provided they are certified by recognized animal chiropractic organizations. The bill also reenacts various sections of the Mississippi Code of 1972 that establish the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, outline its duties and powers, define the scope of chiropractic practice, set licensing requirements, and detail disciplinary actions.
