HB 3762 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Professions and occupations; chiropractors; accredited colleges; effective date.

HB 3762 updates Oklahoma's chiropractic licensing rules to clarify scope of practice and educational requirements. It requires chiropractic colleges to be accredited by U.S. Department of Education-recognized agencies and explicitly defines animal chiropractic care as limited to spinal adjustments (excluding X-rays, surgery, or medications). The bill also specifies that applicants must graduate from accredited programs and pass national exams (including jurisprudence at 75%+) to obtain a license. These changes directly affect chiropractors seeking licensure, practicing animal chiropractic, and the Board of Chiropractic Examiners managing standards.

MODERATE

The bill was completely rewritten by the Policy Committee to significantly reduce the scope of chiropractic practice and remove provisions allowing animal chiropractic care. The new version eliminates references to accredited colleges, removes the ability for chiropractors to treat animals, and replaces the detailed scope of practice with a narrower definition focused on vertebral subluxation complex and spinal manipulation of humans only.

Scope change

The bill's scope was substantially narrowed from allowing animal chiropractic diagnosis and treatment to exclusively human chiropractic practice, and the definition of chiropractic practice was simplified to remove references to accredited colleges.

SCOPE

Removed provisions allowing chiropractors to provide animal chiropractic diagnosis and treatment if certified by the Board.

DEFINITION

Changed the definition of chiropractic practice from a broad scope including services taught by accredited colleges to a narrower definition focused on vertebral subluxation complex and spinal manipulation of nonhuman vertebrates.

Removed references to 'accredited chiropractic college' from the definitions section.

Added clarification that serum does not include vitamin, mineral, or nutrient solutions and explicitly excludes blood transfusion, blood banking, or vaccine administration.

ENFORCEMENT

Reorganized penalty provisions to consolidate them under Section 161.12, removing serum-related penalties and simplifying the penalty structure.
