Kentucky Occupational Therapy Practice Act
Kentucky · Occupational Therapists · §§ 319A.010 to 319A.990 · 24 sections
Overview
The Occupational Therapy Practice Act regulates the practice of occupational therapy, requiring a license to practice or to use the titles of occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant, and defining the scope of practice the license covers. It establishes a regulatory board — setting its composition, member terms and removal, officers, meetings, and training — and grants it authority to adopt rules, set fees, hire staff, and maintain a roster of license holders. The act also fixes the qualifications for licensure, including educational and examination requirements along with provisions for foreign-trained applicants, provisional and temporary licenses, and inactive status, and sets out procedures for receiving, investigating, and disposing of complaints against practitioners.
