Representative Alvarez J presented HB 169 to define the practice of acupuncture, update antiquated terminology (for example replacing 'Oriental' with 'Eastern'), prohibit use of certain drugs and injectables not used in acupuncture, and permit out-of-state providers to instruct board-approved continuing education. The sponsor said the language mirrors a bill that passed the House floor previously.
There was minimal discussion, industry representatives waived in support, and the committee voted 16-0 to report the bill favorably.
