Naprapathic Practice Act
New Mexico · Professional and Occupational Licenses · §§ 61-12F-1 to 61-12F-9 · 11 sections
Overview
The Naprapathic Practice Act regulates the practice of naprapathy, defining the scope of that practice and making licensure a prerequisite for practicing or using the title of naprapath. It establishes educational and professional qualifications for licensure, creates a board of naprapathy, and assigns the licensing department rulemaking and reporting duties over matters such as advertising, display of licenses, records of examinations and treatments, patient confidentiality, referrals, and practice through professional service corporations. It also sets out an enforcement framework — grounds for refusing, suspending, or revoking a license, investigations and administrative hearings with subpoena power, summary suspension where the public is in imminent danger, injunctions and cease and desist orders, fines, and penalties for unlicensed practice — with final agency decisions subject to administrative review.
