Bill Summary
AN ACT ENTITLED An Act to adopt the Physical Therapist Licensure Compact.
AI Summary
This bill adopts the Physical Therapist Licensure Compact, which is a multi-state agreement designed to facilitate the interstate practice of physical therapy and improve public access to physical therapy services. The key provisions of the bill include:
- Establishing the Physical Therapy Compact Commission as the administrative body responsible for implementing and overseeing the compact. The Commission has the authority to promulgate rules, investigate issues, and take disciplinary action against licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.
- Allowing licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to practice in other member states through a "compact privilege" if they meet certain requirements, such as having an unencumbered license in their home state.
- Requiring member states to participate in the Commission's data system, conduct criminal background checks, and comply with the compact's rules and procedures.
- Outlining the compact's provisions for adverse actions, active duty military personnel and their spouses, rulemaking, dispute resolution, and enforcement.
The bill also amends state law to require criminal background checks for physical therapy license applicants and allows the licensing board to require current licensees to submit to background checks as part of a disciplinary investigation.
