Illinois HB2715 allows unlicensed individuals to perform a specific 5-needle ear acupuncture protocol for behavioral health relief.
HB2715 amends the Acupuncture Practice Act to permit unlicensed individuals to use a standardized 5-needle protocol for behavioral health relief, provided they meet certain conditions. These conditions include having appropriate training, using sterile, single-use needles, and not implying they are licensed or certified. The protocol involves inserting five needles into the ear only, and any other needle application is considered unlicensed acupuncture practice.
