AB30,1,3 An Act to amend 446.028 of the statutes; relating to: continuing education program sponsors for chiropractors, chiropractic technicians, and chiropractic radiological technicians.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a program sponsor for continuing education programs for chiropractors licensed in this state must submit its program to the Chiropractic Examining Board (board) for approval. This bill specifies that a program sponsor for continuing education for certified chiropractic technicians and certified chiropractic radiological technicians must also submit its program to the board for approval.

Current law lists the program sponsors that may offer chiropractic continuing education programs acceptable for license renewal in this state. The bill adds the Chiropractic Society of Wisconsin and the American Chiropractic Association to that list.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

AB30,1 Section 1. 446.028 of the statutes is amended to read:

Each program sponsor of a continuing education program required to be completed by a chiropractor, chiropractic technician, or chiropractic radiological technician as a condition of license renewal shall submit the program to the examining board for approval. In this section, "program sponsor" means the Wisconsin Chiropractic Association, the Chiropractic Society of Wisconsin, the American Chiropractic Association, the International Chiropractors Association, a college of chiropractic approved by the examining board, and a college of medicine or osteopathy accredited by an accrediting body listed as nationally recognized by the secretary of the federal department of education.
