Bill Summary

Chiropractic board; board service and licensure qualifications revised

AI Summary

This bill revises qualifications for serving on the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners and for obtaining a chiropractic license in Alabama. Key changes include updating the residency requirement for board members to five years in the state, clarifying that board members must be actively engaged in clinical practice in Alabama for at least five years immediately preceding their election, and specifying that election results will be announced by an independent agency. For licensure, applicants will now undergo state and national criminal history background checks through the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency, and the bill clarifies educational requirements, including a bachelor's degree for those graduating after January 1, 2010, or an equivalent academic graduate degree. The bill also adjusts language regarding application fees and the notarization of applications.
