CA SB1488

Establishes the California Traditional Chinese Medicine Traumatology Council as a nonprofit organization to certify practitioners of California traditional Chinese Medicine traumatology through a five-member board.

Requires applicants to meet certification standards including completion of 880 hours of instruction (or equivalent international experience), pass a written examination, and pay a $200 application fee.

Prohibits certified traumatologists from practicing medicine or chiropractic procedures and makes it an unfair business practice to use the "California certified traditional Chinese Medicine traumatologist" title without meeting requirements.

Authorizes the council to suspend or revoke certificates for unprofessional conduct, fraud, specified crimes, or sexually related offenses.

Sunsets the entire chapter on January 1, 2017, unless legislation is enacted before that date to remove or extend the deadline.
