MT HB929

Creates an optional license endorsement allowing chiropractors to obtain prescriptive authority for noncontrolled, nonscheduled drugs used in musculoskeletal treatment, including prescription NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, topical analgesics, and topical/oral corticosteroids

Requires the Board of Chiropractors to establish rules for the endorsement application process, educational qualifications including pharmacology training hours, continuing education requirements, and standard prescribing protocols

Authorizes the Board to assess a fee for prescriptive authority license endorsement applications and to add new FDA-approved noncontrolled drugs to the approved formulary

Expands the statutory definition of chiropractic to include prescription and administration of natural agents (food, water, heat, light, herbs, nutritional supplements, homeopathic remedies) while maintaining prohibitions on invasive procedures, surgery, and controlled substances

Chiropractors without the endorsement are prohibited from advertising or implying they have prescriptive authority
