What happens if an acupuncturist violates the public trust?
One of the essential responsibilities of the Board is to discipline the few acupuncturists who violate the laws governing acupuncture. All complaints are investigated thoroughly. Once the investigation is complete the matter will be set on a Board meeting agenda for review. The Board will determine if there was a possible violation of law. If so, the Board will conduct a hearing on the matter. If no violation of law is determined the Board can dismiss the matter without further review. If no violation was determined but the Board had concerns they could issue a non-disciplinary letter of concern.
