DATE: 13 June 2024 – Periodic Review of Rules
House Bill 74 passed in the 2013 Session of the North Carolina Legislature, requires all state agencies, including occupational licensing boards, to review the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) (a/k/a “rules”) every ten years. In accordance with the Bill, the Board reviewed its rules, NCAC Title 21 – Chapter 1 – North Carolina Acupuncture Licensing Board.
The Board’s website, www.ncalb.com, includes a spreadsheet that lists all the Board’s existing rules and their corresponding determinations, as well as the full text of the rules.
Public comments about the rules must be written with objection to a rule in whole or in part from any member of the public, including an association or other organization representing the regulated community or other members of the public. In order for a comment to be considered by the Rules Review Commission (RRC), the comment must address the content of the rule.
Comments may be sent via US Postal Service (USPS) or other delivery service (UPS, FedEx, etc.) and electronic submission including email. All comments must be USPS postmarked, delivered or emailed as of 12 August 2024, to be accepted.
