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, address, telephone number, and email of such person.
(2) The names and symbols indicating their title.
(3) The school, attendance at which qualified them for examination or admission to practice.
(4) The date of the issuance of their 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 or contact information, giving both their old and new address or contact information, as applicable.
The directory shall be evidence of the right of the persons named in it to practice unless their 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.
