Health Occupations - State Board of Chiropractic Examiners - Revisions

SB 52 revises Maryland's chiropractic licensing and oversight rules. It changes the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners' membership structure (reducing chiropractor members from 5 to 3, with 2 consumer members), adds authority for unannounced office inspections when complaints involve CDC guideline violations, and requires licensees or applicants to undergo health provider examinations under specific circumstances. These changes directly affect chiropractors seeking licensure, currently licensed practitioners, and the Board itself. The bill updates definitions, licensure requirements, and disciplinary procedures under the Maryland Chiropractic Act without altering core practice limitations.
