The above standards of the CCE have
been adopted by the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing
Boards (FCLB). The FCLB has recommended to the various
state licensing boards that a rule of law be adopted,
either by statute or by administrative regulation, wherein
it will be provided as follows:
"All applicants for licensure who
matriculate in a chiropractic college after October
1, 1975, must present evidence of having graduated from
a chiropractic college having status with the Commission
on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education,
or its successor, or from a chiropractic college which
meets equivalent standards thereof."
