From Quackwatch:

Nevada bill aims to legalize quackery.

http://www.quackwatch.org/07PoliticalActivities/nevada_sb69.pdf

Nevada State Senator Michael A. Schneider has introduced S.B. 69, an 85-page bill that would:

**Declare Nevada a “freedom of health” state.

**Affirm that patients are “entitled to access to and the use of the products and services of any provider of health care chosen by the patient, including, without limitation, a complementary integrative medical physician or any other provider of health care.”

**Replace the current homeopathic board with a Board of Complementary Integrative Medical Examiners that has the same powers but can authorize people to become licensed or certified as a “complementary integrative medical physician,” “advanced practitioner of complementary integrative medicine,” “complementary integrative medical assistant” or “complementary integrative medical nutritionist.”
