If a chiropractor violates a public health safety municipal law, what is it considered?

  1. A minor infraction

  2. A disciplinary issue

  3. A violation of state law

  4. A violation of local regulations

The correct answer is: A violation of state law

When a chiropractor violates a public health safety municipal law, it is considered a violation of local regulations. Municipal laws are established by local government entities to maintain public health and safety, and a chiropractor failing to adhere to these regulations directly infringes upon the responsibilities set forth by local governance. Such violations can lead to local enforcement actions, fines, or other repercussions. The choice regarding it being a violation of state law does not accurately capture the nature of municipal laws, which are specific to the local jurisdiction and do not necessarily have the same authority or implications as state laws. This distinction is crucial in understanding the layers of legal compliance required from healthcare practitioners, including chiropractors. Violating local regulations can also lead to disciplinary issues within professional boards or associations, but the primary designation of the act itself is a violation of local regulations.
