Section 34-24-140.1 Board of Chiropractic Examiners - Rulemaking authority. (a) The Legislature
finds and declares all of the following: (1) A primary goal of the provision of health care
is to prioritize patient safety and wellness. (2) The board is in the best position to determine
the practice of chiropractic that prioritizes patient safety and wellness. (3) The power to
make rules regulating the practice of chiropractic includes the power to prohibit unlicensed
persons from practicing chiropractic and the power to regulate how licensed persons practice
chiropractic. (4) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to immunize
the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners and its members from liability under state and federal
anti-trust laws for the adoption of a rule that prioritizes patient safety and wellness but
may be anti-competitive when the effect on public safety and wellness is clearly demonstrated
and documented by the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners....
