OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Preclusion of pre-July 1, 1963 osteopathic graduates from reciprocal licensing.

- Former Code 1933, § 84-914 even though apparently displaying a legislative intent to grant reciprocity to some pre-July 1, 1963 osteopathic graduates (i.e., ones who graduated from schools which were approved at the time of graduation), effectively excluded all such graduates from reciprocity privileges since neither the Osteopathic Board, the Medical Board, nor the Composite Board ever officially approved an osteopathic college prior to 1971. 1973 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 73-31.
