Acupuncturist Licensing Amendments

Summary

The bill adds a new route to become a licensed acupuncturist by allowing candidates to prove they completed an 850‑hour curriculum and 500 hours of supervised training, or by showing a current NCCAOM certification. It also permits the health division to issue six‑month temporary licenses to those who have finished the curriculum but not the supervised hours, as long as they work under a licensed acupuncturist. The changes are meant to broaden the pool of qualified practitioners while keeping patient safety safeguards.
