Acupuncture Act

South Carolina · Professions and Occupations · §§ 40-47-700 to 40-47-810 · 21 sections

Overview

The act establishes acupuncture as a regulated health occupation, setting the terms under which a person may practice it and hold out the corresponding professional title. Its central mechanism is licensure: it defines the scope of permitted practice, the qualifications and credentials needed to obtain and keep a license, and the standards licensees are held to. It also provides for administration and enforcement of those requirements, including review of licensee conduct and action against a license when the standards are not met.
