Pennsylvania SB1302 establishes certification requirements for chiropractic assistants and defines their scope of practice.

Pennsylvania SB1302 amends the Chiropractic Practice Act to create a certification process for chiropractic assistants. To be eligible, applicants must meet age and education requirements, complete a nationally recognized program, and pass an examination. Certified chiropractic assistants must be supervised by a licensed chiropractor and can perform therapeutic exercises but not evaluations, adjustments, or plan modifications. The bill also outlines procedures for temporary certification, examination retakes, and certification revocation. It takes effect in 60 days.
