A chiropractic corporation shall not do or fail to do any act the doing of which or the failure to do which would constitute unprofessional conduct under any statute, rule or regulation now or hereafter in effect. In the conduct of its practice, it shall observe and be bound by such statutes, rules and regulations to the same extent as a person holding a license under the Chiropractic Act. The board shall have the same powers of suspension, revocation and discipline against a chiropractic corporation as are now or hereafter authorized by the initiative measure mentioned in Section 1000 or by any other similar statute against individual licensees, provided, however, that proceedings against a chiropractic corporation shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, and the board shall have all the powers granted therein.

that the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a chiropractic corporation shall include a provision whereby the capital stock of such corporation owned by a disqualified person (as defined in the Professional Corporation Act), or a deceased person, shall be sold to the corporation or to the remaining shareholders of such corporation within such time as such rules and regulations may provide, and (b)
that a chiropractic corporation as a condition of obtaining a certificate pursuant to the Professional Corporation Act and this article shall provide adequate security by insurance or otherwise for claims against it by its patients arising out of the rendering of professional services.
