Summary


In Subsection R156-72-102(1), the proposed amendments make minor formatting changes for clarification. Subsection R156-72-102(4) is a new subsection that clarifies the terms "herbs" and "homeopathics" used in Subsection 58-72-102(4)(b)(ii), by giving the following non-exclusive list of herbs and homeopathic substances that may be recommended, administered, or provided: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and enzymes. Subsection R156-72-102(5) is amended to more clearly define "insertion of acupuncture needles" in the practice of acupuncture, by including "myofascial" trigger point therapy, "intramuscular therapy", and "proprioceptive stimulation". The changes in Subsection R156-72-102(6) clarify that the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) was formerly known as the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists. In Section R156-72-302a, the proposed amendment deletes the reference to NCCAOM's former name as it is now included in the definition under Subsection R156-72-102(6).
