BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE
SECTION 1000-1004


1000.  The law governing practitioners of chiropractic is found in
an initiative act entitled "An act prescribing the terms upon which
licenses may be issued to practitioners of chiropractic, creating the
State Board of Chiropractic Examiners and declaring its powers and
duties, prescribing penalties for violation hereof, and repealing all
acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith," adopted by the
electors November 7, 1922.

1001.  In each year, the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners shall
compile and may thereafter publish and sell a complete directory of
all persons within the state who hold unforfeited and unrevoked
certificates to practice chiropractic, and whose certificate in any
manner authorizes the treatment of human beings for diseases,
injuries, deformities, or any other physical or mental conditions.
   The directory shall contain:
   (a) The following information concerning each such person:
   1. The name and address of such person.
   2. The names and symbols indicating his title.
   3. The school, attendance at which qualified him for examination
or admission to practice.
   4. The date of the issuance of his certificate.
   (b) The annual report of the board for the prior year.
   (c) Information relating to other laws of this state and the
United States which the board determines to be of interest to persons
licensed to practice chiropractic.
   (d) Copies of opinions of the Attorney General relating to the
practice of chiropractic.
   (e) A copy  of the provisions of this chapter and a copy of the
act cited in Section 1000.
   The board may require the persons designated in this section to
furnish such information as it may deem necessary to enable it to
compile the directory.  Every person so designated shall report
immediately each and every change of residence, giving both his old
and new address.
   The directory shall be evidence of the right of the persons named
in it to practice unless his certificate to practice chiropractic has
been canceled, suspended or revoked.  The board may collect from
each person who voluntarily subscribes to or purchases a copy of the
directory the cost of publication and distribution thereof; except
that one copy of the directory shall be distributed without charge to
each certificate holder of the board.

1002.  Whenever any person has engaged in or is about to engage in
any acts or practices which constitute or will constitute an offense
against the Chiropractic Act or its rules or regulations, the
superior court of any county, on application of the State Board of
Chiropractic Examiners, or on application of 10 or more persons
licensed under the Chiropractic Act may issue an injunction or other
appropriate order restraining that conduct.  Proceedings under this
section shall be governed by Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 525)
of Title 7 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

1003.  (a) Except as otherwise allowed by law, the employment of
runners, cappers, steerers, or other persons to procure patients
constitutes unprofessional conduct.
   (b) A licensee of the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners shall
have his or her license to practice revoked for a period of 10 years
upon a second conviction for violating any of the following
provisions or upon being convicted of more than one count of
violating any of the following provisions in a single case:  Section
650 of this code, Section 750 or 1871.4 of the Insurance Code, or
Section 549 or 550 of the Penal Code.  After the expiration of this
10-year period, an application for license reinstatement may be made
pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 10 of the Chiropractic Act.

1004.  The State Board of Chiropractic Examiners shall investigate
any licensee against whom an information or indictment has been filed
that alleges a violation of Section 550 of the Penal Code or Section
1871.4 of the Insurance Code, if the district attorney does not
otherwise object to initiating an investigation.
