This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 2292) seeks to update and clarify regulations regarding the practice of chiropractic care in the state. Key provisions of the bill include:

1. Telemedicine Services – The bill explicitly states that chiropractic practice includes providing services via telemedicine.

2. Disciplinary Authority – It affirms that the Board of Chiropractic Examiners has the authority to discipline chiropractors who fail to comply with executive orders.

3. Reorganization of Animal Chiropractic Regulations – It restructures and clarifies regulations related to chiropractic treatment for animals, specifying that chiropractors may perform spinal manipulations but cannot engage in surgery, medication administration, or traditional veterinary care.

4. Definitions & Scope of Practice Updates – The bill refines definitions related to chiropractic services, including:

   • Structural and neurological function evaluation.
   • Chiropractic adjustments and manipulations.
   • Diagnostic and therapeutic services.
   • The role of acupuncture as an adjunct therapy requiring board registration.

5. Statutory Amendments & Repeals – The bill amends various sections of Minnesota statutes (Chapter 148) to reflect these updates and repeals outdated provisions.

Overall, the bill aims to modernize chiropractic regulations in Minnesota, adapting to technological advances (telemedicine), clarifying disciplinary authority, and refining definitions to better distinguish chiropractic care from veterinary medicine.
