IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not currently practicing chiropractic - except
insofar as the practice of chiropractic includes freedom of speech. While
in Oregon doing library research I have voluntarily forfeited my California
chiropractic license so as not to have to pay the annual licensing fee.
(Under California law, any licensed D.C. may voluntarily forfeit his/her
license, and may, at any time, reactivate said license by providing the
Board of Examiners with "twice the annual amount of the renewal fee...[He
or she]...shall not be required to submit to an examination for the reissuance
of the certificate." [Section 12, Act Regulating the Practice of Chiropractic...Issued
by the Board of Chiropractic Examiners...Act Includes Amendments Through
October 1993]
