Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATED
Removes the $1,500 cap on patient advances held in trust.
Chiropractic physicians who hold a patient's money in trust for costs and expenses of examination or treatment no longer face a $1,500 ceiling on how large that advance can be. The trust-holding duty itself is unchanged.
Money entrusted to a chiropractor for a specific purpose must still be held in trust and used only for that purpose, and the board may still set its own rules for how such funds are handled.
