compilation of aspects of the laws pertaining to acupuncture and not the laws

themselves, and was immediately outdated. The AAOM published a complete list

of laws

and Rules and Regs for 2 years and found it to be too time consuming and

immediately outdated itself. Working to do a state by state search in the states

you are interested in via the net is the only way to do it. Perhaps someone

publishing how to go about this sort of thing on the net would be a better use

of

time.
