Summary of PR 26-0354: Board of Acupuncture, Chiropractic, and Naturopathic Physicians Dr. Tremikae Owens Confirmation Resolution of 2025

Status: Withdrawn

  • Introduced: October 16, 2025
  • Classification: Resolution
  • Primary Sponsor: Phil Mendelson

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill is a confirmation resolution intended to confirm the appointment of Dr. Tremikae Owens to the District of Columbia’s Board of Acupuncture, Chiropractic, and Naturopathic Physicians.
  • As a confirmation measure, its primary function would be to authorize the Council to confirm Dr. Owens’s membership on the board, enabling her to serve in that capacity and participate in board governance and regulatory activities.

Key Provisions (as suggested by the title)

  • Confirm the appointment of Dr. Tremikae Owens to the Board of Acupuncture, Chiropractic, and Naturopathic Physicians.
  • The summary provided does not include additional substantive provisions, amendments, or changes to board structure, terms, or authority beyond the confirmation itself.

Note: The exact text of the resolution is not provided here, so this summary focuses on the essential purpose indicated by the title.

Who/What Is Affected

  • Dr. Tremikae Owens: the individual proposed for appointment to the board.
  • Board of Acupuncture, Chiropractic, and Naturopathic Physicians: the regulatory body that oversees practitioners in these fields.
  • The District of Columbia government and public who rely on the board for professional oversight and regulation.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • 2025-10-16: PR26-0354 Introduced by Chairman Mendelson (Office of the Secretary).
  • 2025-10-21: Referred to the Committee on Health.
  • 2025-10-24: Notice of Intent to Act on PR26-0354 published in the District of Columbia Register (noted twice in the actions).
  • 2025-11-05: Withdrawn (bill disposition: withdrawn from consideration).

Implications of withdrawal: The confirmation of Dr. Owens’s appointment did not proceed to final consideration. As a result, Dr. Owens would not be confirmed via this resolution at that time, and the board appointment would carry on under existing processes or await a future measure if reintroduced.

Potential Impacts and Next Steps

  • If reintroduced, the Council could again consider and potentially confirm Dr. Owens to the Board.
  • The withdrawal suggests no current Council action on this appointment, but does not preclude future nominations or confirmations.
  • Stakeholders (Dr. Owens, board staff, regulated practitioners, and the public) would need to monitor any new notices or legislative actions related to this board appointment.

This summary captures the essential information available from the bill’s title and the provided legislative actions.
