Success!!

 

House Resolution 416 passed!! On Friday, Nov. 2nd, the Illinois House

of Representatives unanimously passed House Resolution 416 establishing

a Task Force to study licensure of naturopathic physicians.  This

resolution is a big step towards licensure in that it commits the

legislature to studying the case for licensure in IL, will acquaint them

with our educational institutions, and keeps us on the agenda during a

huge election year.  The resolution calls for the Task Force to (1)

evaluate whether the standards of naturopathic medical education and

training are adequate to protect the public and (2) makes

recommendations as to the extent to which regulation of naturopathic

physicians will benefit the health of the citizens of Illinois.  HR

416 calls for the Task Force to provide a written report of its findings

next year.
