state by state acu laws

[Guest guest]

Keep in mind when looking at state laws which may change once per year duing

legislative session there is also a quasi-legislative function within the

executive branch of state government promulgating an ongoing Administrative

Code.

These codes can change as frequently as monthly or as often as the board

agencies hold meetings.

 

Administrative code clarifies scope of practice.

 

As Brian suggests.....go to the state's website and look up BOTh the laws &

rules.

download their laws.

For several years, Barbara Mitchell, formally of the AAOM, NCCA, and Acupuncture

Alliance, has been producing a book on all the state laws. She did this every

two years by contacting every state board and having them complete several

questions that do not usually get spelled out in their formal laws such as the

legal status of scope issues herbs, homeopathy,and other issues. She retired

recently and put off her latest edition but I believe it is nearly ready for

publication. You can check with the AOM Alliance and ask when this will be ready

for sale. By the way - virtually all of the web sites and so forth that publish

information on state laws took this directly from Barbara's books - most without

giving credit or seeking permission. Matt Bauer
