Small News/Politics Graphic CSOM Legislative Update
from the California Society for Oriental Medicine


SB 212 (Acupuncturist's as physicians in Workers Compensation PERMANENTLY) was voted on in the senate for concurrence on the amendment which says that acupuncturists cannot advertise themselves as physicians for things other then workers compensation. It passed 36-0. This means the bill is going to the Governor! The last step! Look for a signature and a new law within the next two weeks.

AB 410 (partial sales tax exemption) voted on in the senate revenue and taxation committee. 9-0 in favor!
Next stop is the senate appropriations committee.

AB 174 (restriction on nurses and others doing acupuncture) was on the consent (28.8) calendar in the appropriations committee of the senate. Next stop: full senate vote, probably next Thursday! This bill could also be law within the next two weeks.

Happy Independence Day everyone!
