Bill 16: An Act to Repeal the Chiropractic Act

This bill directly affects chiropractors practicing in Prince Edward Island — whether running a solo clinic, a small multi-practitioner office, or working within a larger health centre. The repeal of the standalone Chiropractic Act likely signals a transition to regulation under a broader health professions framework, which would change how chiropractors are licensed, how their scope of practice is defined, and how professional discipline is handled. Day-to-day chiropractic work — adjustments, patient intake, billing, and record-keeping — may be subject to new rules and a different regulatory body once the transition occurs. Chiropractors will need to monitor when the proclamation is issued and understand what replacement regulatory framework applies to them.
