AN ACT RELATING TO BUSINESSES AND PROFESSIONS -- LICENSE OF NATUROPATHY ACT OF 2017

This bill proposes changing the official title from "doctor of naturopathy" to "naturopathic doctor" for practitioners licensed under the Naturopathy Act of 2017. The change directly affects naturopathic medical professionals and the state's licensing regulations for this healthcare category. The key provision is a simple terminology update that modifies the chapter's language without altering existing licensing requirements or practice standards. This legislative update aims to standardize professional titles within the healthcare sector.
