Here’s what six states’ Health Freedom Acts look like
Here are links to six Health Freedom acts:
2005 Louisiana Revised Statutes 20-37 VI-B - Disclosure by Purveyors of Food, Dietary Supplements, or Homeopathic Remedies
2003 Rhode Island Statute 23-75 - Unlicensed Healthcare Practices
2001 California SB577 - California Complementary and Alternative Health Care Practitioners
1994 - Oklahoma Statute 59-480 - Oklahoma Allopathic and Surgical Licensure and Supervision Act
1976 - Idaho 54-1804 - Unlicensed Practice. Penalties and Remedies Relating to Unlicensed Practice. (See Section J which I am under the impression was added by the state legislature in 2004 or 2005, but I haven’t confirmed that with any authorities in Idaho. (Note to self. Do that. If it was actually approved in 1976, then it pre-dates the other states by more than two decades.)
While Minnesota often is cited as having originated the Health Freedom Act movement, the ’80s had some substantial precursors. Two in particular stand out: The Colorado and Washington registration acts for non-licensed counselors.
