(1) This article 250 is repealed, effective September 1, 2029. Before the repeal, the registration of naturopathic doctors is scheduled for review in accordance with section 24-34-104.
(2) (a) In conducting its review, the department shall gather and include in its report information from naturopathic doctors regarding the number of children under two years of age that naturopathic doctors treated, the conditions for which naturopathic doctors treated children under two years of age, and the number and description of any adverse events that occurred in connection with treating children under two years of age. Additionally, the department shall review written collaborative agreements kept on file by naturopathic doctors pursuant to section 12-250-106 (2)(e)(III) and include a summary of those agreements in its report.
(b) As used in this subsection (2), "adverse event" means any harm to a child under two years of age that the treating naturopathic doctor is aware of and that resulted or likely resulted from the naturopathic doctor's care of the child. Reporting an adverse event to the department pursuant to this section does not, alone, constitute grounds for discipline pursuant to section 12250-113.
