Naturopathic doctors licensed in other states and countries would have an easier time moving their medical practices to Utah with the changes contained in SB56.

Sen. Scott McCoy, D-Salt Lake, is sponsoring the bill that would recognize accredidation issued by medical boards outside of Utah, though still subject to approval by the Utah Department of Occupational and Professional Licensing.

Ben Bramwell, a Utah naturopath, said the bill makes a positive step toward clarifying the pathway for naturopaths to practice in Utah, while maintaining a high degree of standards and accountability.

SB56 was passed out favorably by the Senate Health and Human Services standing committee.
