 Ohio Governor Ted Strickland signed SB 245 on Friday May 23, 2008. The new acupuncture practice bill will be enacted 90 days from that date. The OAAOM will be holding an explanatory meeting Sunday June 22, 2008 for all Ohio acupuncturists. What this basically means is that there will be no further requirement for an Acupuncture Prescription. Acupuncturists will also be permitted to use the title L.Ac. (licensed acupuncturist). There will be a $500,000 malpractice insurance requirement associated with this law as well.
This is excellent news for Acupuncturists who have been unfairly controlled by the Medical Board in the state of Ohio. There is not even one acupuncturist on the board governing their activities. I am happy about this long overdue regulatory change of an unfair and outdated law. This allows acupuncturists in Ohio to begin practicing their profession properly and without the interference of a civil rights violating law. There are plans to fight the Ohio Acupuncture Herb Ban next.
