Bill > SB1168

This bill amends the Public Health Code to modify the licensing process for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in Michigan. It establishes the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, which allows individuals who hold a compact privilege to practice as physical therapists or work as physical therapist assistants in Michigan. The bill also creates the Michigan Board of Physical Therapy, which will select a delegate to represent the state in the compact. The bill sets fees for individuals seeking a compact privilege and takes effect one year after enactment, but only if the related House Bill No. 4504 is also enacted into law.
