Bill > HB4380

This bill modifies Michigan's Public Health Code to incorporate the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, a multi-state agreement that allows physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to more easily practice across state lines. The bill updates fee structures, adding a $90 annual fee for individuals seeking a "compact privilege" to practice in multiple states. It expands definitions to include professionals licensed under the compact, clarifying that those holding a compact privilege are considered fully licensed physical therapists or physical therapist assistants in Michigan. The bill also adds provisions that authorize individuals with a compact privilege to practice physical therapy or work as a physical therapist assistant under the same conditions as state-licensed professionals. Additionally, the bill requires the Michigan Board of Physical Therapy to select a director to serve as the state's delegate for the compact. The changes will take effect one year after the bill is enacted, and are contingent upon the passage of a related House Bill. These modifications aim to streamline licensing processes and improve mobility for physical therapy professionals across participating states.
