LIVE: THE CHAIR OF AN ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE THAT HEARS BILLS DEALING WITH PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS IN CALIFORNIA IS ANGRY TO LEARN THIS MORNING THAT THE BOARD OF CHIROPRACTIC EXAMINERS DID NOT AGGRESSIVELY TAKE STEPS TO REVOKE OR SUSPEND THE LICENSE OF A CHIROPRACTOR UNTIL HE WAS ACCUSED OF DRUGGING TWO WOMEN AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTING ONE OF THEM IN HIS CHIROPRACTIC OFFICE IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA COMMUNITY OF ANTIOCH. CHIROPRACTOR JASON GOETTSCH HAD THREE CONVICTIONS FOR DRINKING AND DRIVING BETWEEN 1998 AND 2007.

VO: (:20) ASSEMBLYMAN MIKE ENG CHAIRS THE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS COMMITTEE AND HAS CRITICIZED THE BOARD IN THE PAST FOR AUDITS THAT INDICATE THAT EVEN WHEN THE BOARD WAS RECEIVING FULL FUNDING, IT DID NOT ADEQUATELY INVESTIGATE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AGAINST CHIROPRACTORS. THE LEGISLATURE LAST YEAR CUT THE BOARD'S BUDGET FOR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY INVESTIGATE CLAIMS AND FOR CHARGES ITS BOARD MEMBERS WERE NOT FOLLOWING OPEN MEETING LAW REQUIREMENTS WHEN MAKING DECISIONS TO HIRE AND FIRE BOARD PERSONNEL. CHIROPRACTORS ARE THE ONLY PROFESSIONAL BOARD THAT IS NOT OVERSEEN BY THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS DUE TO A VOTER INITIATIVE PASSED IN THE 1920'S. ENG ADVOCATES A NEW INITIATIVE THAT WILL IMPROVE GREATER LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE OVERSIGHT.
