Overview

Continues the Arizona State Board of Chiropractic Examiners (Board) for eight years.

History

Established in 1921, the Board was created to protect the health, welfare and safety of the public through the enforcement of the laws governing the practice of chiropractic. The Board accomplishes this by investigating complaints, administering disciplinary actions and establishing education and training standards for the profession.

The Board is composed of five members, including three licensed chiropractors and two consumer members appointed by the Governor for five-year terms (A.R.S. §§ 32-901, 32-904, 32-921, 32-922, 32-931).

The Senate Health and Human Services and House Health and Human Services Committees of Reference (COR) met jointly on January 13, 2022, to evaluate the Board's response to the sunset factors and receive public testimony. The COR recommended that the Board be continued for eight years (COR Final Report).

The Board terminates on July 1, 2022, unless legislation is enacted for its continuation (A.R.S. § 41-3022.03).
