AK Chiropractors want to license LMT's under their board

Yesterday the Alaska AMTA chapter sent out a revised annual meeting agenda. They have added a new agenda item.

New Agenda Item

A draft proposal from the Board of Chiropractic Examiners will be discussed at our Annual Meeting. We will have copies of the draft proposal available to members and hold a discussion. The Board of Chiropractic Examiners will soon be discussing a draft proposal that would license massage therapists under their board. The proposal includes adding two massage therapists to their board, creating a seven member board, requiring applicants to pass the NCBTMB or MBLEx and applicants will have to show proof of a completed course of study of at least 500 hours in a massage program approved by the board. This proposal will be discussed at the Chiropractic Examiners Board Meeting Oct. 15th at 11;15 a.m., with public comment at 11:45 a.m at 550 West 7th Ave., Suite 1270 Atwood Building, Anchorage, AK., if you would like to receive a copy of the agenda for this meeting, contact Debora Stovern: debora.stovern@alaska.gov 309 Breeze Ct. Anchorage, Alaska 99515

Questions I have:
1. Are there any other states besides Maryland that license LMT's under their chiropractic board?
2. What are your opinions re pros & cons of being licensed under chiropractor board

I was originally not going to attend the annual meeting but have decided 
that I will go after all. I am currently preparing a list of question I
want to ask at the meeting.

I would appreciate any input and opinions on this matter.

Thanks,
Jeanette
