In order to protect the life, health, and safety of the public, any person practicing or offering to practice as an acupuncturist shall be licensed as provided in KRS § 311.671 to
311.686. It shall be unlawful for any person not licensed under KRS § 311.671 to KRS § 311.686 to practice acupuncture in this state, or to use any title, sign, card, or device to indicate that he or she is an acupuncturist. The provisions of KRS § 311.671 to KRS § 311.686 are not intended to limit, preclude, or otherwise interfere with the practice of other health-care providers, working in any setting and certified or licensed by appropriate agencies or committees of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, whose practices and training may include elements of the same nature as the practice of a licensed acupuncturist.
