Expands services that licensed acupuncturists may provide.

This bill expands the scope of practice for licensed acupuncturists in New Jersey by allowing them to prescribe and administer certain substances (like homeopathic medicines, vitamins, saline, and herbal extracts) and order specific diagnostic tests (including x-rays, lab work, and imaging). It directly affects current and future licensed acupuncturists who seek to provide these expanded services, requiring additional certification for injection, IV, and bioidentical hormone therapies. Key provisions include mandating 60 hours of training for injection therapy and 40 hours for IV therapy, along with biennial certification renewals. The changes apply to new license applicants and renewals after the bill's effective date.
