"In 2002, the Kansas Legislature enacted the Naturopathic Doctor Registration Act. The bill was included in the Kansas Statutes Annotated as K.S.A. 65-7201 et seq. The statutes designated the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts as the agency responsible for registering naturopathic doctors commencing January 1, 2003. After that date, it became unlawful for anyone not registered by the Board to use the words "doctor of naturopathy", "doctor of naturopathic medicine", or "naturopathic medical doctor" or any other words, letters or abbreviations indicating or implying that the person is a naturopathic doctor. Effective, July 1, 2004 it became unlawful to use the term "naturopath" unless the person is registered by the Board. The following is a compilation of the current statutes and rules and regulations relating to naturopathy."
