Committee releases bill allowing chiropractic preceptorships and limited licenses
Summary
The Brigadier Professionals Committee released Assembly Bill 3099, which would permit preceptorships for chiropractic students in their final year or two final semesters and provide limited licenses for those students; supporters registered in favor and the bill passed by roll call.
The Brigadier Professionals Committee voted to release Assembly Bill 3099, which would allow preceptorships for students in the final year or final two semesters of a chiropractic program and require the state board of chiropractic examiners to approve New Jersey licensed chiropractors who may act as preceptors. The bill also allows students to apply to the board for a limited license to participate in a preceptorship; the limited license would not be renewable upon expiration.
Committee staff read language indicating that, to the extent appropriate, existing law governing chiropractors and additional staff would apply to students in a preceptorship. Support was recorded from John Bombardieri of the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors and from Althea Ford with the New Jersey Business & Industry Association; both registered in favor and indicated no need to testify.
The committee released the bill after a roll call in which affirmative votes were recorded from Assemblyman Sharpenberger; Assemblyman Meyer (for Assemblyman Keane); Assemblywoman McCann Stomato; Assemblywoman Lopez (for Assemblyman Hutchison); Assemblywoman Coyosis Gill; Assemblywoman McCoy (for Vice Chair Swates); and Chair Stanley. The committee chair announced, “The bill is released.”
The committee record does not specify whether the state board must adopt implementing regulations, an exact renewal procedure for the limited license beyond “not to be renewed,” or a timetable for board approval of preceptors. Those procedural details are not specified in the committee transcript.
