Senate Bill 52
Members of the Maryland Chiropractic Association’s (MCA) Legislative Committee testified before the State Senate to express their strong support for Senate Bill 52 (SB 52), a critical measure aimed at modernizing chiropractic regulations in Maryland. Introduced by Senator Augustine and developed in collaboration with the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners (BOE), this bill is set to enhance public protection while supporting chiropractors with streamlined licensure and updated professional standards.
Key Benefits of SB 52:

- Simplified Licensure and Examination Process: Practitioners will benefit from a more efficient licensing path, including updated qualification and examination requirements.
- Expanded Board Appointment Process: The appointment process for board members will be broadened, allowing direct nominations from licensed chiropractors.
- Modernized Language and Procedures: The bill will update outdated language in existing regulations, making them more relevant to today’s chiropractic practice.
Collaboration and Amendments:
During the Senate testimony, the MCA proposed a set of amendments to ensure the bill addresses the needs of both the public and chiropractic professionals. The MCA, working closely with the BOE, reached a mutually beneficial agreement that balances patient safety and the professional integrity of chiropractors.
