Naturopathic medicine licensure.

HB 269 establishes a licensure system for naturopathic medicine in Wyoming, requiring practitioners to graduate from accredited naturopathic programs (CNME-accredited in the U.S. or Canada) and pass the NABNE licensing exam. It creates the "Wyoming Board of Acupuncture and Naturopathic Medicine" with nine members, including three licensed naturopathic physicians, to oversee licensing, set practice standards, and enforce penalties for unlicensed practice. The bill directly affects naturopathic medicine practitioners, who must obtain a license by January 1, 2026, to legally practice. Key provisions include defining "naturopathic medicine," establishing board authority, and requiring continuing education for license holders.
