(1) is licensed, is in good standing to practice chiropractic in another jurisdiction, and has successfully completed not less than 24 hours of continuing chiropractic professional education during the two years immediately preceding application. For purposes of this section, "in good standing" means the applicant has no record of disciplinary actions on file with other jurisdictions, the Chiropractic Information Network-Board Action Databank (CIN-BAD) or professional liability insurance carriers;

(2) presents proof of having graduated before January 1, 1996 from a four-year school of chiropractic, accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), or which was accredited by the CCE at the time of the applicant's graduation, and which requires not less than 4,000 hours as a resident student; and

(3) has practiced chiropractic at least 500 hours during the two years immediately preceding the date of application.

(b) The board may require an applicant under this section to take an examination on the Vermont laws and rules governing the practice of chiropractic.

(c) An applicant who is not in good standing may be eligible for licensure under this section if the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the board that the applicant has passed the Special Purpose Examination for Chiropractors and is otherwise qualified for licensure under this section. The board may place limitations or conditions on licenses issued under this subsection. (Added 1991, No. 236 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2001, No. 151 (Adj. Sess.), § 9, eff. June 27, 2002.)
