Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects,
Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The proposed
rules describe the requirements to reactivate an expired
license. The proposal requires the chiropractor to submit
completed continuing education (CE) documentation for
approval and they must also pass the jurisprudence exam.
Chiropractors that have let their license expire for at least
three years, and were not licensed to practice chiropractic
under the laws of any other state, territory of the United
States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or province of
Canada, must also pass the National Board of Chiropractic
Examiners Special Purpose Examination of Chiropractic
(SPEC) before their license can be returned to active.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The proposed rules contribute
to patient safety by requiring chiropractors to have
current skills and knowledge. In addition, the rules also
establish specific requirements to evaluate the chiropractor's
clinical competency skills and knowledge by requiring the
SPEC exam for those that have not practiced chiropractic for
at least three years. Currently there is no competency
requirements for a chiropractor to reactivate a license that has
been expired for more than three years.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 18.25.0171 and
18.130.050.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 18.25.0171.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state
court decision.

would not impose more than minor costs on businesses in an
industry.
