Bill > HB374

This bill updates the regulations for the State Acupuncture Board by changing how license renewals are handled, making it so the Board will provide proof of renewal instead of issuing a physical renewal certificate. It also introduces new prohibitions, making it illegal for anyone to hire an individual to practice acupuncture without the proper license or to assist in the unauthorized practice of acupuncture. Furthermore, the bill outlines penalties for violations, specifying that a first offense of these new prohibitions will be considered a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $5,000, imprisonment for up to one year, or both.
