Chiropractors; allow to perform chiropractic upon animals without the supervision of a veterinarian.

SB 2017 would have allowed licensed chiropractors in Mississippi to perform chiropractic care on animals without needing direct veterinary supervision, provided they held certification from the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) or completed a Mississippi Board of Veterinary Medicine-approved animal chiropractic course. This change would have directly affected licensed chiropractors seeking to treat animals, removing a current requirement for veterinary oversight. The bill specifically amended Mississippi Code Section 73-6-1 to establish these certification pathways. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
