Bill > SB0057

This bill extends the Tennessee Board of Physical Therapy's authorization and makes some technical amendments to state law. Specifically, the bill removes a previous reference to the Board in Section 4-29-246(a) and adds a new reference to the Board of Physical Therapy in Section 4-29-250(a), which appears to be a procedural update to ensure the Board's continued legal standing. The bill effectively extends the Board's existence until June 30, 2029, which means the Board will continue to regulate and oversee physical therapy practice in Tennessee during this period. The changes are administrative in nature and do not substantively alter the Board's existing powers or responsibilities. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the final section, with the justification that it serves the public welfare by maintaining the regulatory framework for physical therapy in the state.
