AN ACT PERMITTING NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIANS TO PRESCRIBE AND ADMINISTER VITAMIN B12.

SB 1325 amends state law to explicitly permit naturopathic physicians to prescribe and administer vitamin B12 as part of their scope of practice. This directly affects licensed naturopathic physicians in the state, allowing them to provide this common treatment for vitamin deficiencies without needing additional authorization. The bill updates the legal definition of "naturopathy" to include vitamin B12 prescribing/administration under the permitted "material sciences" of healing. The change takes effect on July 1, 2025.
