relative to the conversion, combination, and reorganization of boards and advisory boards.

Maddy summaryHB 1271 reorganizes the oversight of acupuncture in New Hampshire by transferring regulatory authority from an existing board to the executive director of the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification. The bill establishes a new three-member advisory board composed of licensed acupuncturists and a detoxification specialist to advise the executive director on rulemaking and implementation. Key provisions include setting specific eligibility requirements for licensure, defining the scope of practice, and creating a list of approved acupuncture schools. The legislation also outlines procedures for license renewal, continuing education, and the use of professional titles, while maintaining existing rules until they are formally updated or repealed.
