Opinion No. 32-511

September 6, 1932

BY: E. K. Neumann, Attorney General

TO: Mrs. Georgia L. Lusk, Supt. of Public Instruction, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

{*177} In reply to your letter of this date relating to the question raised by Mr. W. G. Donley of Carlsbad, N. M., I will say that our opinion of October 14, 1932, relating to the same subject, is still our opinion, and which I quote in full as follows:

"This is in reply to your letter of October 13, 1931, requesting an opinion from this office as to whether or not a chiropractor is authorized to issue a certificate under Section 110-327, 1929 Code, exempting children from vaccination.

"It is my opinion that a chiropractor {*178} is not a "duly licensed and practicing physician," within the meaning of said section. See Isaacson vs. Wisconsin Casualty Assn., 203 N. W. 918, 920, 187 Wis. 25."

 You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
