Objectives:
• Identify recent state and federal legislative changes impacting the profession, and potential implications for chiropractors in the the legislative session.
• Review the requirements of the state of the law regarding non-compete agreements and discuss alternative options.
• Analyze the key factors and tests involved in determining the classification of workers as independent contractors, to mitigate risks of misclassification.
• Review of the top laws and regulations affecting Florida chiropractors and practice owners, such as permissible advertising content, relationships with marketers, and medically integrated offices.
Description: Chiropractors will be briefed on the many recent legislative changes and potential impacts to their practices on both the state and federal level. Disciplinary pitfalls are also highlighted, along with strategies to steer clear of them. Attendees will have their recollections refreshed on the regulations surrounding relationships with marketers, permissible ownership of a Florida chiropractic practice, medical integration, and advertisement requirements. With the Federal Rule on noncompete agreements in flux, chiropractors will learn about potential alternatives such as non-solicitation agreements that might be a feasible alternative solution to provide protection for an employer. Attendees will be reminded about the “test” for hiring an independent contractor to make sure you aren’t found violating this important law. This is a lecture that you will not want to miss!
