HB84 Summary

• Amends Code of Alabama Sections 34-24-140, 34-24-145, and 34-24-165 governing the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to allow election notices and ballots to be sent using multiple methods instead of only by mail.

• Removes the board's authority to issue limited licenses to chiropractic students and recent graduates, eliminating the preceptorship and extern program that previously allowed practice under direct supervision.

• Prohibits students or graduates practicing chiropractic under licensee supervision from using titles such as "chiropractic," "D.C.," or any other title that would induce belief in licensure status.

• Authorizes the board to establish continuing education requirements by administrative rule rather than in the statute, providing greater flexibility in setting professional education standards for license renewal.

• Makes nonsubstantive technical revisions to update code language to current style throughout the affected sections.
