ABOUT THE ICRS

Picture
Chiropractic regulation exists in many countries to protect the public. 

Incorporated in Canada as an international, nonprofit organization, the ICRS is established to support those jurisdictions that have legislative authority to regulate chiropractors, and to assist those who wish to work toward adding the appropriate regulatory structure to protect the public. Anyone interested in the goals of the ICRS is welcome to attend the annual Forum.

Proposed and recently adopted legislation affecting chiropractic regulation
California law requires patients to be informed if doctors (including chiropractors) are on probation with regulatory boards for sexual misconduct

West Virginia law removes offenses described as moral turpitude as basis for license denial unless the underlying crime bears a rational nexus to practice; provides criteria to determine whether criminal conviction has nexus to occupation; authorizes applicants to petition boards for determination as to whether criminal record precludes licensure, more.

West Virginia also waives initial occupational licensing fees for military and low income families

Washington law addresses senior students in chiropractic program practicing under the supervision of approved chiropractor
