SB 687: Chiropractors: animal chiropractic practitioners.

This bill would add a new article to the Business and Professions Code, allowing chiropractors to practice animal chiropractic under certain conditions. A chiropractor would need to be registered by the state board of chiropractic examiners and meet specific requirements, including holding a certificate from a recognized entity. The board would establish requirements for registration and regulations for practicing animal chiropractic. The bill would exempt animal chiropractic practitioners from the veterinary medicine practice act and require compliance with chiropractic regulations. The board would also need to consult with the veterinary medical board on standards of medicine or care for animals. This bill would require no reimbursement from the state for certain costs.
