(e) The practice of volunteer health practitioners under KRS 39A.350 to 39A.366.

(2) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting care of the sick with or without compensation or personal profit when done in connection with the practice of the religious tenets of any recognized or established church by adherents thereof as long as they do not engage in the practice of nursing as defined in this chapter.

(3) Nothing in this chapter shall limit, preclude, or otherwise restrict the practices of other licensed personnel in carrying out their duties under the terms of their licenses.
