Creates provisions relating to licensure of naturopathic doctors
HB 91 establishes a licensing framework for naturopathic doctors in the state, creating the "Naturopathic Practice Act" to define their scope of practice and oversight. The bill sets requirements for licensure, including education standards, continuing education hours, and professional conduct rules, while defining permitted procedures like allergy testing and minor office treatments (e.g., superficial wound care). It also creates a five-member Board of Naturopathic Medicine, appointed by the governor, to regulate the profession - comprising three licensed naturopathic doctors, one medical doctor, and a public member. This directly affects naturopathic doctors seeking or maintaining licensure and ensures standardized practice within defined boundaries.
