LD 1501 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Extend The Time Frame For A Chiropractic Intern License

This bill extends the maximum duration for a temporary chiropractic intern license in Maine from 6 months to 9 months. It directly affects chiropractic interns who need temporary licenses to practice under supervision while completing their training. The key change modifies the statute to allow the Board of Chiropractic Licensure to issue nonrenewable temporary licenses for up to 9 months, instead of the current 6-month limit. The bill makes a straightforward procedural update to the licensing timeframe without altering other requirements.
