Relative to qualifications to practice acupuncture.

Complete·7/10/26

New Hampshire HB1269 amends qualifications for practicing acupuncture, including board membership and licensing requirements.

New Hampshire HB1269 modifies the qualifications for practicing acupuncture by changing the composition of the Acupuncture Board to include three acupuncturists and one certified acupuncture detoxification specialist. It also updates the licensing requirements for acupuncturists, allowing those with a current, valid license from another state to practice in New Hampshire if their state's requirements are equal to or exceed New Hampshire's. The bill redefines "NADA training" and "NCBAHM," replacing references to NCCAOM with NCBAHM in relevant statutes.
