An Act amending the act of February 14, 1986 (P.L.2, No.2), known as the Acupuncture Licensure Act, further providing for definitions, for regulation of the practice of acupuncture, for penalties and for approval of acupuncture educational programs.

HB 1490 modifies the Acupuncture Licensure Act to require licensed acupuncturists to complete specific continuing education hours. This mandate aligns with existing requirements for physicians and osteopathic doctors under separate medical practice laws. The bill ensures that acupuncture professionals maintain updated knowledge through standardized training similar to other licensed healthcare providers.
