In this week's episode, Hallie and Dr. Luper share insight into House Bill 147 and Senate Bill 193, legislation that would give Naturopathic physicians prescribing rights in Alaska.

About HB 147: This bill modifies Alaska's laws regarding naturopathy by establishing a new system; giving naturopaths the right to obtain licensure to prescribe and administer prescription drugs.

About SB 193: Alaska Senate Bill 193 aims to modernize the practice of naturopathy by establishing a framework for licensed Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) to obtain endorsements for prescribing and administering certain medications.
