History

 

The Board was created on December 21, 1922, as the result of an initiative measure approved by the voters of California on November 7, 1922. To date, over 30,655 licenses have been issued. This includes Chiropractic, Satellite Office and Corporation licenses. As the number of licensees has grown, so has the Board's organization and staff. Presently, a full-time Executive Officer manages a staff comprised of fourteen full-time and three part-time employees working in an increasingly complex program, which includes licensing, enforcement, and fiscal & support services units.
