2021 - 2022 LEGISLATURE

2021 Senate BILL 32

January 28, 2021 - Introduced by Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules. Referred to Committee on Labor and Regulatory Reform.

SB32,1,4 An Act to amend 446.02 (2) (c) of the statutes; relating to: sponsors of nutritional counseling education programs and repealing and modifying administrative rules related to sponsors of nutritional counseling education programs.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Chiropractic Examining Board to approve, for purposes of providing the education needed to obtain a chiropractor nutritional counseling certificate, postgraduate nutrition programs that satisfy all of the requirements established by the board that are not based on the identity of the sponsor of the program. Under current law, the board has authority to approve the postgraduate nutrition programs that chiropractors must complete to obtain a nutritional counseling certificate.

The bill is introduced as required by s. 227.19 (5) (g), stats., in support of the objection of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules to promulgation of clearinghouse rule 19-100 by the Chiropractic Examining Board. The proposed rule made technical changes to the rules regulating nutritional counseling certification for chiropractors.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
