The state Auditor General contracted an outside firm to review whether the board that regulates chiropractors correctly handles complaints involving criminal allegations.
The company, Sjoberg Evashenk, found that the Board of Chiropractic Examiners did not consistently report allegations of evidence of wrongdoing to police.
The board reportedly wanted a woman who said a chiropractor touched her inappropriately to do a psychosexual evaluation to assess the validity of her allegation.
Auditors say the board was legally required to tell police about her complaint but didn’t.
Now, they want the board to require that police be called within 48 hours when there are allegations of evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
The board agrees to the requirement, but rejects the 48-hour deadline, reasoning that it could undermine the board’s discretion to decide when an allegation of evidence is substantiated.
