SB 352 Summary

• Adds Sections 1006 and 1007 to the Business and Professions Code to clarify that chiropractic practice does not include treatment of hypersensitivity to foods, medications, environmental allergens, or venoms, including laser therapy for these purposes.

• Prohibits chiropractors from advertising that they provide services related to hypersensitivity treatment unless they hold another license authorizing such services.

• Defines "advertise" broadly to include cards, signs, printed matter in newspapers or directories, radio and television broadcasting, and any similar communications.

• Establishes that violations constitute grounds for discipline by the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, with authority to suspend, revoke, or discipline licenses.

• Grounds the restrictions in the original 1922 Chiropractic Act's scope of practice and existing prohibitions against chiropractors practicing medicine.
