ND HB1472

Creates new Chapter 43-65 of North Dakota Century Code to allow unlicensed individuals to provide complementary and alternative care without violating unlicensed practice laws, provided they comply with the chapter's requirements.

Prohibits unlicensed practitioners from conducting surgery, setting fractures, prescribing x-rays or drugs, providing medical diagnoses, recommending discontinuation of prescribed medical treatment, performing chiropractic adjustments, or falsely claiming to be licensed health care professionals.

Requires unlicensed practitioners charging fees to provide written disclosure to clients before care that includes practitioner name and contact information, licensure status, nature of care to be provided, and qualifications; practitioners must post disclosures in their office and obtain signed client acknowledgments valid for two years.

Specifies that the chapter does not apply to licensed health care professionals, previously exempt practitioners, or persons subject to other state criminal and civil laws; allows written notice and mediation before legal action for disclosure-only violations.

Preserves clients' right to pursue civil remedies and negligence claims against unlicensed complementary and alternative care providers.
