Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to clarify the existing right of persons licensed to practice chiropractic to prescribe certain prescription drug products.

The purpose of this legislation is to effectuate the original intent of the statute allowing licensed Idaho chiropractors, certified in clinical nutrition, to prescribe and treat patients with the limited prescription drug products they are currently allowed under the Idaho law to obtain and independently administer to patients. The Idaho legislature previously passed Idaho code § 54-716 to allow Idaho chiropractors to treat patients with certain, limited prescription drug products, however, currently compound pharmacies and pharmaceutical distributors are not providing access to chiropractors to the products. This legislation will cure that deficiency.
