SB 69-BD OF CHIROPRACTIC EXAMINERS; PRACTICE
CHAIR COSTELLO announced the consideration of SB 69.
1:31:10 PM
SHARI RYAN, Alaska Executive Administrator, Chiropractic
Society, Anchorage, Alaska, offered to answer questions related
to SB 69.
EDWARD J. BARRINGTON, D.C., Alaska Chiropractic Society,
Anchorage, Alaska, offered to answer questions related to SB 69.
CHAIR COSTELLO closed public testimony on SB 69.
1:32:14 PM
SENATOR GIESSEL moved to adopt the work draft committee
substitute (CS) for SB 69, labeled 29-LS0704\H, as the working
document.
CHAIR COSTELLO objected for discussion purposes.
1:33:08 PM
WESTON EILER, Staff to the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee
and Senator Mia Costello, explained that the CS for SB 69 makes
two substantive changes. The first amends the language on page
1, paragraph (4) to clarify that chiropractic interns and
clinical assistants are only required to be certified
nationally. This language removes the need for a fiscal note and
additional certification of clinical assistants and interns.
1:33:53 PM
At ease
1:35:05 PM
CHAIR COSTELLO reconvened the meeting.
MR. EILER said the second change appears on page 2, line 12. The
CS retains the language in statute "within the scope of
chiropractic practice," which was deleted in the original bill.
This maintains the sideboards that keeps school physicals within
the scope of practice of chiropractors, he said.
CHAIR COSTELLO removed her objection and finding no further
objection, version H was before the committee.
1:36:39 PM
SENATOR BILL STOLTZE, Alaska State Legislature, sponsor of SB
69, explained the bill seeks to build on a bill Senator Ellis
sponsored several decades ago expanding the ability of
chiropractors to provide school physicals. He said this is a
concern of the Athletic Association, particularly in rural
Alaska.
1:38:30 PM
SENATOR MEYER asked the sponsor if he agrees with the changes.
SENATOR STOLTZE answered yes; the changes were made working with
the department.
SENATOR GIESSEL moved to report the CS for SB 69, labeled 29-
LS0704\H, from committee with individual recommendations and
attached fiscal note(s).
CHAIR COSTELLO announced that without objection, CSSB 69(L&C) is
reported from the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
