## Article 17-04 — Certified Chiropractic Clinical Assistant

## Chapter 17-04-01 — Certification

### § 17-04-01-01. Lapsed certifications.

Notwithstanding the provisions in this chapter regarding renewal of lapsed certifications, once a
certification has lapsed, the individual who held the lapsed certification may not practice as a certified
chiropractic clinical assistant or use a title reserved under state law for individuals who are certified by
the board until the individual's certification is renewed or until a new certification is issued. An individual
whose certification has lapsed but who continues to practice as a certified chiropractic clinical assistant
or use a restricted title violates state law. Such a violation is grounds for denying an application by the
former certification holder for renewal of the lapsed certification or for a new certification.
History: Effective January 1, 2021.
