MO HB2124

Creates a licensing and regulatory framework for naturopathic practitioners in Missouri under the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts, requiring candidates to earn a doctorate from an approved naturopathic college, pass the NPLEX examination, and meet experience requirements.

Establishes an Advisory Commission for Naturopathic Medicine consisting of six members (at least four licensed naturopaths, one public member, and one from another healing profession) appointed by the governor to advise the board on licensing and supervision.

Prohibits naturopathic practitioners from using the title "doctor," "N.D.," or "N.M.D." and requires them to use the term "naturopathic" in all signs, letterhead, and advertisements to distinguish themselves from licensed physicians.

Permits existing practitioners who were actively engaged in naturopathic practice for at least 18 of the 20 years before August 28, 2010, to obtain a license before July 1, 2012, without meeting standard educational requirements, though their practice may be subject to limitations.

Requires 24 hours of continuing education per year for license renewal and authorizes the board to establish a naturopathic formulary listing approved substances for intramuscular or intravenous administration by naturopathic practitioners under physician order, excluding controlled substances.
