Oppose.  The Idea sounds wonderful.  The candidate can apply for a license if he has a BA or BS , right?  First of all, the Doctor of Chiropractic spends another 4 years aquiring his or her graduate degree, and like myself, I couldn't tell you what the first $60.000. worth of education was about because that was then, and this is now.   The amnesia process could actually start sooner if you  started having children and watched Barney or the Disney channel with your kids.  Can anyone relate here?  The BA or BS does nothing for the "security" of the profession or the public.  Now, create a mandate that we have to get off our back porches and participate in at least 1 certification course (150-200 hrs) every 2 years in order to retain our license is a way of letting the public know how "Cutting Edge" we are.  Mandate that the licensed doctors of VA takes a Diplomate program and finishes all the requirements within a 3 year period in order to keep his license, is a CHANGE for the profession.  Acquire the Certification or the Diplomate or loose your license - it's a simple concept.  Only the best of the best will still be around after the first 2 or 3 license renewal periods.  Requiring someone to get their BA or BS degree and Doctorate degree before getting a license means that someone wants to limit the competition - nothing more.
