Physical Therapy Practice Act

This act governs the practice of physical therapy, establishing a licensing regime for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants and defining what constitutes the practice of physical therapy. It creates a state physical therapy board — setting its composition, meetings, powers, and duties — and charges it with examining applicants, issuing and renewing licenses, recognizing credentials earned elsewhere through reciprocity and provisions for foreign-trained and military-trained applicants, and collecting fees. The act also restricts use of professional titles, exempts certain persons and situations from its requirements, and gives the board enforcement authority through disciplinary action, penalties, cease and desist orders, and injunctive relief.
