Bill Summary · AB 513

Legislative bill overview

AB 513 revises Nevada's regulatory framework governing chiropractic physicians and chiropractic assistants, modifying licensing, practice standards, or scope of work provisions. The bill passed both chambers unanimously and was signed into law in May 2025.

Why is this important

Changes to chiropractic regulations affect healthcare delivery and patient access to spinal manipulation and related services in Nevada. The revisions may impact licensing requirements, supervision ratios, or allowable procedures—directly influencing how many practitioners can operate and what services they can provide.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope of practice expansion or contraction: Whether the bill broadens or limits what chiropractors/assistants can legally do (e.g., diagnostic authority, treatment types)
  • Supervision requirements: Possible changes to oversight of chiropractic assistants could affect staffing efficiency and cost but raise quality-control questions
  • Licensing standards: Modifications to education, examination, or credential requirements could ease market entry or strengthen professional standards depending on direction
