HB 18-1068

House Bill 18-1068, which has been signed into law, removes the requirement for naturopathic doctors in Colorado to include the word "registered" in their professional titles. This change allows these healthcare providers more flexibility in how they present themselves professionally without the restriction of having to use a specific term. The bill affects naturopathic doctors and could impact how patients perceive and address them, but it does not alter their qualifications or practice rights. Since the bill is signed, the changes have been officially implemented.
