Within 30 days after this act takes effect, the members of the Acupuncture Advisory Committee shall be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for the purpose of assisting the board on matters of professional licensing and professional conduct. The committee shall be composed of seven members, including three licensed practitioners of acupuncture research, two licensed physicians, and two members of the general public.

In accordance with the provisions of this act the committee shall, within 6 months following their appointment and after appropriate hearings and investigation, transmit their initial recommendations for the establishment of acupuncture research programs and standards for professional education, experience and licensing examinations to the board.
