An Act relative to the board of registration in naturopathy

This bill amends the regulations governing the Board of Registration in Naturopathy in Massachusetts to expand its authority over controlled substances. Specifically, it updates the board's power to regulate Schedule I through V controlled substances, removing the previous restriction that limited oversight to only prescription drugs under Chapter 94C. Additionally, the legislation ensures that any state examinations administered by the board prior to 1987 remain valid for licensure purposes. These changes directly affect naturopathic practitioners and the regulatory board by clarifying the scope of substances they can oversee and protecting the status of older licensing exams.
