The
Division of
Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing staffs the naturopathy
program. The Department of Commerce, Community, and
Economic Development
adopts regulations to carry out laws governing the
practice of naturopathy in Alaska. It makes final licensing
decisions
and takes disciplinary actions against people who
violate licensing laws.

Statutes and Regulations
Alaska Statutes are passed
by the legislature. Regulations (also called the Alaska
Administrative Code) are rules adopted by the department
to implement, interpret, and make specific the statutes.
Both statutes and regulations have the force of law.

12 AAC 42 specifically apply to naturopathic doctors.

all professions regulated by the division.
Proposed regulations are
advertised in Alaska newspapers and we invite public
comment on them. If you would like to receive notice
of proposed regulations, please write to the regulations
specialist and request that your name be added to the
Naturopath interested parties list. Please advise us
if you move or wish your name removed from the mailing
list.
