Tpdf Text

Allows chiropractors to be designated as school health advisors in Maine.

This bill amends Maine law to allow school boards to appoint licensed chiropractic doctors as school health advisors. It modifies the existing statute to include chiropractic doctors alongside physicians and nurse practitioners in the role of school health advisor. The bill also ensures that any school health advisor, including chiropractors, must adhere to the scope of practice established by law or the applicable licensing board.
