Oregon naturopaths gain protections for certain care

Beginning January 1, 2026, Oregon’s naturopathic medicine board cannot use certain convictions or out-of-state license actions as disciplinary grounds. The conviction, suspension, or revocation must stem solely from providing reproductive or gender-affirming health care. The care must be legal in Oregon but illegal where provided, and must meet the applicable standard of care. This limits those grounds for discipline; it does not excuse unrelated misconduct.

Stronger oversight and penalties for Oregon naturopaths

Beginning January 1, 2026, Oregon’s naturopathic medicine board has broader grounds to deny licenses or discipline naturopathic doctors. These include false license applications, sexual misconduct, confidentiality breaches, and deliberate or careless substandard care—even without patient injury. The board can also act against conduct that harms a doctor’s ability to practice safely and skillfully. Penalties include license limits, suspension or revocation, probation, reprimands, and fines up to $5,000 per offense. Any Oregon resident, rather than only citizens, can submit a complaint; the board can also investigate on its own. Investigators can use subpoenas to require testimony, records, written answers, and witness appearances. The act takes effect 91 days after the 2025 regular legislative session adjourns, allowing board preparations before January 1, 2026.
