Board of Chiropractic Examiners rule relating to consideration of prior criminal convictions in initial licensure determinations

SB 379 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Chiropractic Examiners to implement a rule (4 CSR 08) that governs how prior criminal convictions are evaluated during initial chiropractic licensure applications. This rule would directly affect new chiropractic license applicants in West Virginia by establishing criteria for assessing criminal history in the licensing process. The bill specifically approves a rule proposed by the Board on October 18, 2024, which requires the Board to consider such convictions when determining eligibility for first-time licensure.
