Bill > HB1327

This bill extends the regulation of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in Colorado until September 1, 2035. It expands the definition of "physical therapy" to include the authorization for physical therapists to directly recommend and prescribe durable medical equipment to patients without needing a prescription from a licensed physician. The bill also clarifies the scope of practice for physical therapist assistants, allowing them to perform general wound care and non-sharp debridement under the supervision of a physical therapist.
