HB 462 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Chiropractic board; board service and licensure qualifications revised

HB 462 revises qualifications for Alabama's State Board of Chiropractic Examiners and chiropractic license applicants. It removes the requirement that board members must have graduated from a chiropractic school requiring actual attendance to graduate, and eliminates the requirement that license applicants must have graduated from a school teaching only attendance courses with a four-year standard college curriculum. The bill also makes minor technical updates to align the code language with current style. These changes expand educational pathways for board service and licensure without altering the board's structure or fundamental licensing standards.
