SB 318 became law on August 24, 2009. The law amends the Medical Practice Act and allows any person licensed under it (physicians, chiropractors) to delegate tasks or duties to licensed or unlicensed personnel as long as those duties fall within the scope of practice for the physician or chiropractor. In ABMP's opinion, the law circumvents the Massage Licensing Act and will allow the unlicensed practice of massage therapy and other allied health professions.
