Hawaii SB2050 amends chiropractic licensing requirements, including educational criteria and clinical practice rules.

Hawaii SB2050 modifies the chiropractic licensing process by updating educational requirements and clinical practice rules. It mandates that applicants must be graduates of accredited chiropractic schools, with exceptions for those who matriculated before specific dates. The bill also allows chiropractic students to engage in clinical practice under supervision. The Hawaii board of chiropractic is tasked with defining "clinical practice" and setting criteria for accrediting chiropractic colleges. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026, with certain sections delayed until July 1, 2028.
