Kentucky Revised Statutes · § 311.671 — Applicability of KRS 311.671 to 311.686

In order to protect the life, health, and safety of the public, any person practicing or offering to practice as an acupuncturist shall be licensed as provided in KRS 311.671 to 311.686. It shall be unlawful for any person not licensed under KRS 311.671 to 311.686 to practice acupuncture in this state, or to use any title, sign, card, or device to indicate that he or she is an acupuncturist. The provisions of KRS 311.671 to 311.686 are not intended to limit, preclude, or otherwise interfere with the practice of other health-care providers, working in any setting and certified or licensed by appropriate agencies or committees of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, whose practices and training may include elements of the same nature as the practice of a licensed acupuncturist.
