Repeal of the RCA Statute and LMTs Performing Treatment on PIP Patients

House Bill 713 (Department of Health) by Rep. Ana Maria Rodriguez (R-Doral) [Senate companion 230 by Sen. Gayle Harrell (R-Stuart)], passed on March 20, 2020 and is awaiting the Governor’s approval. It is expected that the Governor will either sign the bill into law or allow it to become law without his signature. The bill proposes to repeal registration of chiropractic assistants effective July 1, 2020 which means that on July 1, 2020 registrations of chiropractic assistants will be without effect. No further registered chiropractic assistant applications will be granted.  The 87-page Bill proposed by the Department of Health, amends various health regulation statutes and repeals health care regulatory statutes that are no longer needed. In passing HB 713, the legislature implemented Gov. DeSantis’s goal of reducing government regulation 
 
The repeal of the RCA statute will have no effect on operations of chiropractic offices. Chiropractic physicians may continue to hire individuals to assist in the treatment of patients under direct supervision of a chiropractic physician or certified chiropractic physician’s assistant. Traditionally, employees assisting the chiropractic physician have been referred to as chiropractic assistants or CAs.
