Establishes that employers are not required to reimburse optometric or chiropractic services unless those services were included in the definition of practice under state law as of specific dates (May 20, 1992 for optometry; January 1, 2009 for chiropractic).

Restricts attendant or nursing care to a maximum of 56 hours per week when provided by the employee's spouse, sibling, child, or parent.

Prohibits reimbursement for services performed by professions that were not licensed or registered by January 1, 1998, but became licensed after that date.

Bill's effectiveness is conditional upon the enactment of House Bill No. 4603 of the 96th Legislature.
