The board may send a questionnaire developed by the board to any school or other entity conducting an educational program in naturopathy for which the board does not have sufficient information to determine whether the program should be recognized by the board and whether the program meets the rules and regulations adopted under this section. The questionnaire providing the necessary information shall be completed and returned to the board in order for the program to be considered for recognition. The board may contract with investigative agencies, commissions or consultants to assist the board in obtaining information about an educational program in naturopathy. In entering such contracts the authority to recognize an educational program in naturopathy shall remain solely with the board.
