Bill > SB0022

This bill enacts the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, which allows physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to practice in other member states under a multistate license. The bill establishes the Physical Therapy Compact Commission to oversee the compact, including promulgating uniform rules, investigating licensees, and taking disciplinary action. The compact aims to improve public access to physical therapy services by facilitating interstate practice, while preserving states' authority to regulate the profession. The bill also adds provisions to the Public Health Code to authorize individuals with a multistate license under the compact to practice physical therapy or work as a physical therapist assistant in Michigan.
