Mission Critical: Acupuncture Bill Summer 2025
Hello Acupuncture Community
June, July, and Aug 2025 will be key months for FSOMA fundraising and for members to meet with their local legislators. Keeping the Acupuncture Bill and our issues front and center in the next legislative session.
Florida Acupuncturists, patients and students had a very positive legislative session in 2025, but the big prize to UPDATE the Practice Act remains unfinished. The massive support from FSOMA members and students made a huge difference this year.
Mission critical this summer for FSOMA members and the profession is to replenish the FSOMA PAC – contribute what you can (monthly) on ZEFFY and plan to visit key legislators who shape and influence Florida’s health policy. Getting facetime with your local legislators and providing campaign $upport provides visibility for your practice, your profession, and your patients. Fundraising goal $50k – three months – about $50 monthly from ½ the membership…We are counting on everyone’s help.
In 2024-2025. FSOMA members rallied and won passage of HB 803 in the Florida House. This was the first time is 25 years a bill was adopted by the Florida House of Representatives to modernize the Acupuncture Practice Act. It included authority and protection for Acupuncturists to bill for evaluation and management of acupuncture services, to order and prescribe products used in Acupoint Injection Therapy, to bill for direct supervision of services in the office, and several more key improvements to update the statute.
The Senate failed to hear HB803/SB1722 in committee this year. The legislative calendar simply expired in the Senate. Next steps…FSOMA will reintroduce an Acupuncture Bill in both the House and Senate at the beginning of the next legislative cycle [Fall 2025]. Acupuncturists have a lot of momentum and legislative support going into the next session. We expect a repeat of passage in the House and no slow-down in the Senate. Let’s get this done in 2026. FSOMA is here to lead the fight for Acupuncturists – when the profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder it is formidable.
