Michigan Legislature Page HB4912
The AOPP has no reason to believe that PEMF practitioners and their normal, regular sessions are in any way included in this bill. For now, PEMF practitioners should continue business as usual unless otherwise advised.
June 21, 2021
Bill introduced in Michigan, already through first reading and initial edits:
“These changes include amending the definition of “practice of veterinary medicine”. Current law states that practicing veterinary medicine includes “prescribing or administering a drug, medicine, treatment, or method of procedure.” As passed by the House Agriculture Committee, House Bill 4912 clarifies that this includes administering vaccines, performing dental procedures, physical therapy, or alternative and integrative therapy (such as acupuncture, homeopathy, and manipulative therapy).”
The AOPP voicing concern regarding the updated definition of veterinary medicine and opposition to PEMF being included in that definition.
