"Naturopathic Doctors Licensing Act."

This bill would create a licensing system for naturopathic doctors in New Jersey. It establishes the State Board of Naturopathic Examiners to set standards, review applicants, and issue licenses. To practice, individuals must earn a degree from an approved naturopathic medical program, pass the NPLEX exam, and obtain a license renewed every two years. The bill defines the scope of practice, including certain diagnostic examinations and dispensing natural substances, while requiring referrals for imaging studies. It also creates a special committee to establish requirements for naturopathic childbirth attendance, which would require a separate certification.
